Abstract

Introduction. The health of the younger generation determines the intellectual potential and prospects for the socio-economic development of Russia [1]. Taking into account the urgency of the problem, we carried out a hygienic study, the purpose of which was to assess the lifestyle of university students with the subsequent development and registration the software that assesses a health risk group.

Materials and methods. The study of the way of life was carried out among university students in Ufa (1820 people). Based on data obtained, Software for assessing the conditions and lifestyle of university students was developed and registered. The assessment of the lifestyle of students at the University of Sheffield was carried out through an anonymous survey (116 people).

Results. The hygienic analysis of the lifestyle of students revealed a number of unfavourable features: prolonged stay in social networks (on average 4.8 ± 0.2 hours on weekdays), non-observance of the required duration of night sleep (6.4 ± 0.3 hours), significant coverage of tobacco smoking (21.2% of boys and 9.1% of girls), etc.

A comparative analysis of the lifestyle of students of the Russian Federation (Ufa) and Great Britain (Sheffield) was carried out, a number of advantages of the Russian educational system in relation to the health preservation of young people (arrangement of physical activity, provision of dormitories with minimal living costs, etc.), and some limitations.

To assess the risk group for the health of students, depending on the lifestyle, software has been developed and registered.

Limitations. The study was conducted on the basis of four different universities in Ufa, Republic of Bashkortostan (12 universities and branches in total), which provided a representative sample of the volume. The subject of further research will be the study of the conditions of education in other universities in Ufa.

Conclusion. The lifestyle and the system of value orientations of students in relation to their own health are irrational in a number of indicators, which indicates the need to carry out preventive work within educational institutions aimed at preserving and strengthening the health of students.
