Abstract

Santé et modes de vie en Ukraine Objectifs: Plusieurs études ont identifié des styles de vie négatifs comme déterminants principaux de l’accroissement de la mortalité dans les états post-communistes d’Europe, mais la situation en Ukraine est peu décrite dans la littérature. Afin de combler ce manque, cet article présente des données sur les modes de vie en Ukraine. Méthodes: Les données ont été rassemblées au cours d’entretiens individuels à domicile d’un échantillon aléatoire de répondants en Ukraine (N=2 400, Novembre 2001). L’échantillon a été choisi au moyen d’un échantillonnage aléatoire en grappe, stratifié selon la région et la zone (urbaine/rurale). Résultats: Etre un homme est le prédicteur unique le plus important d’un mode de vie négatif, comme par exemple la consommation fréquente d’alcool et de grandes quantités de vodka en une fois, le tabagisme et l’alimentation inadéquate; les hommes se sont estimés en meilleure santé que les femmes. Mais plus d’un tiers des hommes et la moitié des femmes ont jugé leur état de santé plutôt mauvais ou mauvais. Conclusions: Le sexe et la classe sociale sont des déterminants importants des pratiques de santé, les ouvriers ayant les pratiques les plus négatives. Les résultats montrent qu’en général l’état de santé de la population ukrainienne n’est pas bon. Copyright Birkhäuser Verlag, Basel 2005
