Makhachkala, October 1, 2020. Dagestan took the first place in the ranking of the population's commitment to a healthy lifestyle. The research following the results of 2019 was conducted by RIA Novosti and was published on Monday, September 28.

The leaders, as before, were the regions of the south of Russia and the North Caucasus. The first and second places are taken by the Republic of Dagestan and the Chechen Republic. The closest to them are the Republic of Adygea, Krasnodar Krai, and the Kabardino-Balkaria. According to experts, the most unhealthy way of life is led by the Russians in the east of the country: in the Amur Region, Zabaykalsky Krai, Kamchatka Krai, the Magadan Region, and the Jewish Autonomous Region.

To calculate the rating of regions in terms of the population's adherence to a healthy lifestyle, the experts analyzed several indicators including the proportion of the population engaged in physical culture and sports, tobacco consumption, mortality from accidental alcohol poisoning, and others. The experts noted that positive tendencies are observed among Russians in the fight against bad habits, but alcohol consumption continues to be the most common of them. The study used the data from Rosstat, the General Prosecutor's Office, and the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation.
