Algorithm for medical and sociological assessment of the system of the formation of healthy lifestyle by the population

Introduction. The solution to the problem of forming a healthy lifestyle in the population is connected not only with the statement of the number of persons observing its individual components, but also with the need to monitor effective support measures. It is required to elaborate an algorithm for the formation of a healthy lifestyle, which can serve as the initial element of using artificial intelligence in strategic planning in healthcare.

Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of the results of a survey of residents of the Novosibirsk region on a specially elaborated questionnaire. One thousand four hundred forty six respondents aged of 18 years and over were interviewed. Calculations and comparative analysis of the results were carried out using classical statistical methods, including the Student’s t-test, and the plotting method.

Results. An algorithm for medical and sociological assessment of the formation of a healthy lifestyle was elaborated, including the opinion of the population on the importance of individual components of a healthy lifestyle, the possibility of their observance, factors and conditions that ensure a healthy lifestyle, including motivational government measures, information support, and stimulation. Respondents pointed to the need for personal initiative (57.1%), which should be supported by medical workers (66.0%), low effectiveness of government measures and insufficient financial support under the compulsory health insurance program (42.5%) were noted.

Limitations of the study were associated with a difference in the population’s understanding of the principles of a healthy lifestyle and the unwillingness of respondents to answer individual questionnaire questions.

Conclusion. The algorithm for medical and sociological assessment makes it possible to establish the level of observance by the population of a healthy lifestyle and the conditions for its formation, which, when comparing the results, determines the directions of contributing and supporting measures.

Compliance with ethical standards. All participants in the study gave written voluntary informed consent to participate in it and to publish the results in an impersonal form.
