Abstract

Today health is an indicator of progress and social and economic development. There are many different methods for measuring public health. Experience of public health researches reveals different trends. In this paper we proposed and used integral index—the public health index (PHI), which integrate most objective indicators of public health: infant mortality rate, life expectancy at birth for men and for women. These indicators have several important advantages: there is data for almost all countries, they do not require expert assessment and they are reliable. Calculated the PHI for Russia, we got a picture of the dynamics of public health in Russia for 22 years—from the end of the Soviet period and the beginning of the transition to a new model of socio-economic development (1992) until the end of 2012. This index clearly illustrates changes in the public health.
