The aim of the research is to identify the features of the social and medical environment affecting the quality of life, with an emphasis on the health of indigenous and non-indigenous population of reproductive age as the main criterion of quality of life. For subjective estimation of their health, well-being and quality of life, sociological surveys of women of reproductive age and pregnant women was conducted using a special questionnaire “Medical and social passport of future parents”. The region is characterized by low indicators of health and reproduction of the population, weak social infrastructure. The analysis of the quality of life in the region requires the establishment of priority groups of risk factors to improve the efficiency of medical and social control to minimize their impact.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>quality of life</kwd><kwd>reproductive health</kwd><kwd>medical and social environment</kwd><kwd>indigenous people</kwd><kwd>Russian Far East</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group xml:lang="en"><funding-statement>The reported study was funded by RFBR according to the research project № 18-013-00923.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Anand S., Sen A.K.
