Abstract
Purpose: assess changes in the health state of teenage-youth due to the transformation of the sociocultural environment (on the example of the Irkutsk region).
Materials and methods. The observation contingent is the population of adolescence (15–19 years old). The subject of the study is the characteristics of the incidence and mortality of the contingent underline in the process of changes in the sociocultural medium. Data on mortality rates were obtained on sites of Federal State Statistics Service and of the Center for Demographic Research of the New Economic School, the trend analysis was carried out by a linear regression analysis using the SPSS program (IBM).
Results. In the first half of the post-Soviet period (from 1991 to 2005–2009), in the Irkutsk region, in the contingent of adolescence, there was a rapid increase in the prevalence of some socially determined diseases and states (addiction, sexually transmitted diseases), as well as mortality rates. In the second half of the period (from 2006–2010 to 2020), there was a decrease in morbidity and mortality, however, with all positive shifts, even the relative well-being in these areas was not achieved. In 2019, the mortality rates of young men in connection with suicides in the region exceeded the corresponding figures of Poland 2,5 times, Sweden – 8,2 times; Mortality rates from violent causes (murders) exceeded the corresponding figures of Poland 6,4 times, Sweden – 2,0 times. High levels of socially determined morbidity, adolescence mortality in the post-Soviet period are a consequence of adverse changes in the sociocultural environment.
Conclusion. Negative phenomena in the mentally-psychological and somatic health of young people are developing in a state of culture, characterized as “sociocultural destruction”. The latter is due to the processes of marginalization of the population, miscalculations in the areas of state ideology and cultural policies, the destruction and substitution of value orientations, the degradation of morality. The most important task facing the authorities and society is to overcome the factors leading to socio-cultural destruction, strengthening the integrity of the consolidating ethnic group of the cultural system.
