title: [The health status of population in the Tomsk oblast'].
abstract: The protection and promotion of population's health is a necessary condition for the provision of national security, stable economic growth and preservation of the Russian way of life. While working out the strategy of the protection and promotion of population's health, we analyzed the dynamics of the basic indicators of population's morbidity and also studied the self-estimation of health status and the personal medical activity of regional population. As a result of this, the increase in the prevalence of socially significant diseases against some reduction in the levels of primary and general morbidity was noted. The results of a sociological survey showed that personal medical activity of citizens is not high and ineffective, and factors indicated by respondents as reasons for ill health are potentially manageable. In this connection the preventive activity should be, first of all, aimed at changing the behavior of population in relation to one's own health and the minimization of the negative effect of manageable risk factors.
