[MEDICAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC INDICATORS IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT OF QUALITY OF LIFE: THEORETICAL AND APPLIED ASPECT].

Abstract

In the context of modern socio-economic transformations and global challenges to systemic healthcare, the problem of an objective assessment of the quality of life of the population is of paramount importance. Traditional economic indicators (for example, GDP per capita) do not fully reflect the state of public health and social well-being. In this regard, the development of integrated assessment tools synthesizing heterogeneous data is becoming a key task for substantiating management decisions in the field of social and demographic policy. A special role in such systems is played by medical and demographic indicators, which act as objective markers of the quality of human potential. The study is based on data from Rosstat and the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation for the period 2015-2024 for 85 regions of the Federation. The purpose of the study is to theoretically substantiate and test in practice the methodology of integrated assessment of the quality of life of the population of the subjects of the Russian Federation using a system of key medical and demographic indicators, to determine their structural contribution to the final index.
