Comparison of morbidity among working population in Russian regions with different modernization levels

Abstract

Based on complex of parameters characterizing social economic level, innovation activity and morbidity among able-bodied population, the authors suggested a typology of RF regions different in potential, urgency and risk value of modernization. Claster analysis helped to identify 4 types of territories - moderately modernizing regions with high modernization potential (12 RF subjects), well modernizing regions with moderate modernization potential (26 RF subjects), moderately modernizing regions with moderate modernization potential (28 RF subjects), poorly modernizing regions with low modernization potential (5 RF subjects). Findings are that special attention is required not only by RF subjects with the workers' low health level and poorly modernization processes, but also highly modernized regions with the workers' health problems can result from risky character of modernization. The article is prepared with financial support from RGNF (project N 16-16-59007).
