Abstract
The reviewed monograph is devoted to a comprehensive and versatile sociological study of the phenomenon of health, assessment of its state in the Russian population, analysis of factors that have a significant impact on it, the study of the value of health, its declarativeness, and representation primarily in normative ideas, but not in the minds of the population, description of the practices of a healthy lifestyle and their prevalence in modern Russian society.The relevance of this study is due to both the general goals of the socio-demographic policy of the Russian Federation, aimed at saving the population by improving its health, and the current agenda for combating the COVID–19 pandemic and the need to assess its impact not only on the actual state of public health but also on health-saving people practices.The monograph traces, analyses in detail, and comprehensively the revealed contradiction between the declarative high value of health and the intransitivity of the real practices of the population, which often do not correspond to the lines of self-preserving behavior. Based on a large array of empirical studies, the significant role of the family institution in shaping healthy lifestyle practices, educating future generations in line with a conscious attitude to one’s health is shown. At the same time, the high potential of the family in the transmission of behavioral patterns of unhealthy behavior is emphasized, which is noted by the author as the dual nature of the family influences adherence to healthy lifestyle practices.Special attention is paid to the urgent problem of combating the COVID-19 pandemic: based on the latest most relevant research data, an analysis is made of changes in attitudes towards health and hygiene practices, and an assessment is made of the impact of the pandemic and the restrictive measures being introduced on the mental health of the population.
