THE ROLE OF RECOGNIZING RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR HEALTH AS A SOCIAL DETERMINANT OF HEALTH IN OLDER AGE GROUPS

Abstract: The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of recognition of responsibility for one's health in older age groups. Materials and research methods. An anonymous questionnaire was conducted for 1045 people of both sexes aged 60 years and older living in the metropolis (Moscow). The average age of the study group was 71.08 ± 1.3 years, men in the sample were 36%, women 64% respectively. Results of the study. The highest proportion of men and women of the older age groups who recognize responsibility for their health is observed in the age group 60–64, with an increase in age, the proportion that places primary responsibility for the state of health on the state and health systems, that is, taking a passive position, increases. Significant gender differences are not identified, but women are generally more responsible for their health, less often shifting responsibility to the state and the health system. The level of education has an impact on the fact that there is a decrease in the proportion of people who recognize the fact of responsibility for their health, in terms of increasing the age by 5 years, at which there is a decrease.
