Crimeans and Sevastopol residents have turned to a healthy lifestyle — statistics from the rating of regions of the Russian Federation

It is noted that to calculate the rating of regions of the Russian Federation according to the population’s adherence to a healthy lifestyle, seven indicators were analyzed. These include: the proportion of the population involved in physical education and sports, the level of consumption of tobacco products, sales of alcoholic beverages, the number of crimes committed under the influence of alcohol and drugs, and working conditions.

Analysis of the data showed that the leaders in the ranking of regions in terms of the population’s adherence to a healthy lifestyle remain the same; these are representatives of the North Caucasus. The first place was taken by the Republic of Dagestan, Chechnya second, Ingushetia third.

The bottom five in the ranking includes the Kamchatka Territory, the Jewish Autonomous Region, the Magadan Region, Khakassia and the Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

Compared to last year, in the ranking of regions in terms of the population’s adherence to a healthy lifestyle, the most noticeable increase in positions was shown by the Republic of Crimea (+22 places), says the publication based on the results of an expert study.

According to the graph, at the end of 2024, Crimea is now in 30th place in the ranking, while in 2023 the republic occupied 52nd position among the regions of the country.

According to experts, this is explained by a significantly increased proportion of people involved in physical education and sports, as well as a decrease in the consumption of tobacco products.

Sevastopol, according to the rating, rose only one position — from 33rd line to 32nd.

Also, the final positions in the Bryansk region increased by 13 points, in the Republic of Tatarstan by 10, St. Petersburg improved its position by 9 places and Moscow by 8. In total, 38 Russian regions of the country have improved their positions in the ranking of regions based on the population’s adherence to a healthy lifestyle.

The authors of the study note that a conscious attitude towards one’s health is increasingly being consolidated as a basic value of modern people in Russia, which is becoming possible due to the fact that many programs are being implemented at the state level to popularize healthy lifestyles, which resonate with the population.

Let us remind you that in 2023, according to data Krymstatonly 38% of Crimean residents adhered to a healthy lifestyle.
