ABSTRACT
There are presented results of research of the impact of socio-economic factors, environmental factors and lifestyle on the health of the population. Among the socio-economic indices there are analyzed: the health expenditure; per capita income; living wage; the cost of the minimum food basket; the percentage ofpersons with income below the subsistence minimum; the amount of living space per person; the percentage of apartments that do not have running water; the percentage of apartments that do not have sewage systems; the proportion of living space, equipped with central heating; housing area per overall per capita at the end of the year. Also there are considered negative lifestyle factors: the abuse of alcohol and tobacco. The results of the study allow to select factors of the negative character and to identify measures for their elimination for the improvement ofpublic health.

Biological contamination of environmental objects was monitored in 245 monitoring points of the region according to the monitoring observation program. In 2005-2008, the proportion of drinking water samples from the distributing network of household water supply systems, which meet no hygienic standards, is 1.3 to 1.8% and the proportion of those from non-centralized water supply sources is 6.2%, which is due to a weak protectability of aquifers from their surface contamination. Comprehensive assessment of household water supply factors has indicated that water preparation and transportation are key links in the formation of household water supply problems.
