Abstract

The paper presents the characteristics of the status of public health in the regions of Russia in 2002–2012 conducted considering life expectancy of men and women, as well as infant mortality. Public health trends were identified in comparison with 1990–2001. Five groups
of regions with specific status of public health were isolated and analyzed. Cross-spectrum
analysis of environmental and socio-economic factors was conducted in order to explain the
existing level of mortality of the population.

Keywords
