Abstract

The paper outlines and updates research tasks related to defining vector trends and key risks of existing self-preserving behavior models of the population at a national security scale via a mass survey, with quota sampling, distribution by gender, age and area of residence. As a result, all recommendations on the formation of appropriate health-saving behavior models are reduced to increase the personal responsibility of an individual for his/her health. In conclusion, self-preserving behavior is a system of actions and relationships aimed at preserving health during the full life cycle.
