Abstract

Purpose: to show the features of health-saving behavior and self-assessment of health on the example of medical students.

Materials and Methods. An assessment of the health-saving behavior of student youth was made on the basis of an analysis of 242 anonymous responses of students of the 5-6 courses on the specialty of Medicine. Statistical-mathematical, responses to the questionnaires analysis and analytical-logical methods were used.

Results. The obtained data indicate the presence of violations in the health of student youth, despite the high self-esteem regarding the state of their health. These deviations develop as a result of a number of factors, such as academic load, individual attitude to their health characteristics, self-treatment, behavioral risks (smoking, alcohol), inappropriate nutrition.
