[The results of a comprehensive evaluation of the health status of the population, of public health resources and of the socioeconomic status of the territories of the Russian Federation].

Population health in the Russian Federation was assessed over the course of 5 years using a universal method with ranking of territories according to Euclidian distance, which is a variant of cluster analysis. The same method was used in study of the ratio of territories as to their provision with public health resources and some resultant socioeconomic parameters. Under condition of the socioeconomic crisis involving the whole country, the population health rapidly reacted to changes by developing new and progress of the existing negative tendencies, which led to shift of some territories, particularly of the Northern ones, in the ranked series. As a rule, there are more problems with population health at territories with more strained socioeconomic situation.
