The processing of the collected data and the subsequent calculation of the trend in public health was`made by using indicative and index approaches, the method of summary indicators and the model of randomization of uncertainty used in the case of information deficit. Results. Based on the collected and processed materials from the republics of Sakha (Yakutia), Karelia and Komi, the regions of Arkhangelsk (with the separation of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug) and Murmansk, certain differences in the state and trend in indicators were revealed. Nevertheless, in general, a steady trend of positive growth in the state of public health was established in all named regions in 2001-2019. Discussion.

The trend of the state and dynamics of public health connected to the difference in the habitat of the population. Conclusion.
