Aim. To evaluate the degree of awareness of the managable social risk factors for prevention of male and female infertility and to suggest preventive measures. Methods. We conducted a survey among 140 medical students and 140 students of other higher educational institutions. The majority of students in both groups who participated in the survey were aged 21 to 23 years (60%). There were 20 questions in the questionnaire. They were of the following type: Do you know that ... can lead to infertility? Instead of the dots there were certain risk factors. Students answered the question yes or no. Results. According to the results of the survey, medical students are much better aware of risk factors of infertility and its prevention. Most of the medical students and students of other institutions (72 and 73% respectively) plan to be parents already at the age of 23 to 28 which is in the upcoming decade so they have to think about infertility prevention now. Conclusion. Awareness of infertility risk factors especially among non-medical students is quite low so spreading the information about prevention of the diseases leading to infertility among youth is necessary.

The risk of cardiovascular complications increases steadily with increases in arterial pressure and is significantly intensified in the presence of other risk factors for cardiovascular disease (smoking, sedentary lifestyle, alcohol abuse, stress, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus). It reduces the quality of life, which is especially important for people, engaged in heavy physical labor. The most common medical and social risk factors for cardiovascular disease and hypertension in coal miners are the following: overweight and obesity, bad habits and lack of education. The further study of the prevalence pattern of risk factors for cardiovascular disease in coal miners is required to develop, implement and evaluate the efficiency of preventive measures towards reducing cardiovascular risk factors.

In a prospective epidemiological study, a cohort of all children born in 1955 in Helsinki have so far been surveyed into their youth. On the basis of the present seven-year follow-up in adolescence, it was observed that the cumulative incidence of public psychiatric treatment is 9.1%. Marital status of the biological parents deviating from normal or the death of a parent as well as a low social status of the father are factors connected with an elevated risk of required psychiatric treatment during youth. The combined effects of such social risk factors are additive. The risk of necessary treatment was observed to be three times greater in young people who exhibited both risk factors during childhood. The results of the study indicate how preventive measures might be directed. At the same time, the need for more detailed studies in the future to allow preventive measures to be directed more accurately than hitherto, at children and families requiring them, is emphasized.

Period 2014-2019 characterized by a certain increase in social instability in Russia, which led to an increase of social risk factors for drug addiction. In the Kursk region, at the same time, there have been changes in the regulation of anti-drug prevention, a large number of specialists have been trained, and a movement of competent volunteers has developed. In this regard, the epidemiological data for 2014-2019 are of particular interest. For the period from 2005 to 2019 the primary incidence of alcohol use disorders in Russia decreased from 147.4 to 48.3, in the Kursk region – from 106 to 53.5 cases per 100 000 population per year. Of the adjacent regions in 2019, a lower incidence rate than in the Kursk region was noted only in the Belgorod region – 39.4 cases per 100,000 population. Primary incidence of disorders associated with the use of narcotic active substances, during 2014-2019 in Russia as a whole decreased from 15 to 9.8, in the Kursk region – from 11.3 to 4 new cases per 100 000 inhabitants per year. In 2019, the detection rate of primary incidence of drug addiction and substance abuse was significantly higher than in the Kursk region in Bryansk and Lipetsk. Despite favorable trends, it was noted that the coronavirus pandemic and the restrictions introduced to combat it can have a significant impact on the risk factors for drug addiction, which requires the adaptation of preventive programs to new conditions.
