Maintaining Health in Russia: A Closer Look
Russians reportedly have a habit of paying minimal attention to their health, according to recent findings from a survey.
A recent survey reveals that the majority of Russians (61%) consider avoiding harmful habits a key aspect of a healthy lifestyle, with 31% engaging in physical activity several times a week and 18% exercising daily [1]. However, 7% of the population exercises less than once a month, and 33% do not participate in any sports [1].
In terms of health management, Russians focus on diet management and hydration, stress management, regular health check-ups, and the use of technology in healthcare [1][2]. The country is increasingly embracing artificial intelligence to improve diagnostics and streamline medical processes [2].
Despite these efforts, there are challenges in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. High rates of smoking, excessive salt intake, insufficient consumption of fruits and vegetables, and lack of awareness about cholesterol and blood sugar levels are common among certain demographic groups [1]. Additionally, the healthcare system faces challenges in effectively addressing widespread health issues due to resource constraints and accessibility issues [2].
Economic conditions and social factors, such as access to healthcare services, can also influence an individual's ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle [3]. The ongoing conflict and economic sanctions have impacted various sectors, including healthcare, by limiting access to advanced medical technology and skilled labor [3].
In some regions, such as Krasnodar, residents often skip medical check-ups [1]. However, 41% of Russians undergo regular medical check-ups, and over half (55%) pay close attention to their diet [1]. A third (45%) of Russians engage in regular sports or other forms of physical activity, and 38% take vitamins and dietary supplements [1].
For mental health, 7% of Russians practice meditation and breathing techniques, while 3% seek help from psychologists and therapists [1]. However, 13% of Russians do not consider health care a priority [1].
