Against the background of the increasing level of primary morbidity, the share of chronic diseases is growing, thus, in the Stavropol region there is a trend of loss of health of the adult population and adolescents. The poll showed that for the majority (92,5±0,5%) - health represents the true value. However, realizing the value of health, only a few citizens take practical steps to preserve and strengthen it.
