Abstract

Abstract. The study presents the population indices of life quality of inhabitants of Dibgali, Guladty and Karbuchimakhi rural settlements in Dakhadaev district, Republic of Dagestan. The study was conducted using a questionnaire SF-36. The regularities of the age and gender changes of parameters of quality of life were identified. The highest rate in the analyzed settlements was marked on a scale of social functioning, the lowest on the scale of overall health.

Aim.The goal of this work was a pilot study of population indices of the life quality of inhabitants of Dibgali, Guladty and Karbuchimakhi rural settlements in Dakhadaev district, Republic of Dagestan.

Methods.The study was conducted using a questionnaire SF-36 in accordance with the requirements of the International project of evaluation of life quality (IPELQ). Data was collected by questionnaire on the basis of direct survey respondents.
Statistical processing of the data obtained from surveys of the quality of life based on the general principles of statistics and conducted
using the package of applied programs STATISTICA and Excel.
Results.Population quality of life of the residents in some rural settlements in Dakhadaev district of Republic of Dagestan were received. Average indicators of the quality of life of residents for 8 scales of the questionnaire SF-36 range from 53,4 (scale of the overall health) to 76.3 (scale of social functioning). The study of gender differences in population indices of quality of life showed that the parameters of the quality of life of the male population in all scales of the questionnaire significantly higher than that in women. A similar trend was observed in all age groups, that is, in general, indicators of physical, mental and social functioning of the female population of the studied territories were lower than of men. Indicators of the quality of life in the analyzed settlements are decreasing in both men and women.

Main conclusions.The results of population studies of quality of life in general indicate that the environmental component, understood in the framework of 3-defining model of sustainable development (economy, social sphere, ecology), makes a great contribution to the integral profiles quality of life of the rural population. Although the countryside is traditionally considered to be ecologically safe, in our study the numeric parameters of the quality of life have the same dynamics as in studies of population in large, industrialized cities, reflecting the specific problems of the environment.
