The data were obtained through an anonymous questionnaire based on the questionnaire "Research of Social Determinants of Health", which was finalized by the authors. A total of 566 non-pregnant women aged 18-49 years were included in the study group. The lower age limit was deliberately limited to 18 years, since female adolescents aged 15-17 years did not reach adulthood, despite the fact that this age range is included in the concept of "reproductive age". The first comparison group included 306 women with higher or incomplete higher education. The second comparison group included 260 women with secondary or specialized secondary education. Each of the groups described above was divided into four more subgroups based on age. The majority of women, regardless of their level of education, had a positive attitude to the principles of a healthy lifestyle. Women with a high level of education were significantly more likely to follow the principles of a healthy lifestyle on a permanent basis. With increasing age, the frequency of following the principles of a healthy lifestyle increases in the group of women with a high level of education, and in the group of women with a lower level of education, it decreases. The study of certain elements of a healthy lifestyle showed that the frequency of irregular alcohol consumption and smoking in the group of women of reproductive age is quite high, more than half of the women surveyed admitted this. Women with a lower level of education were more likely to admit that they were overweight. The level of education did not significantly affect the level of physical activity. A high level of physical activity was noted by about a third of women in both groups compared. With increasing age, the proportion of women with high and very high physical activity in the group of women with a high level of education increased, while in the group of women with a low level of education, on the contrary, decreased. The data obtained allow us to consider education as a social determinant of health, which affects the prevalence of health-saving behaviors in women of reproductive age.determinants of healthwomen of reproductive agelifestylehealth-saving behaviorsдетерминанты здоровьяженщины репродуктивного возрастаобраз жизниздоровьесберегающие формы поведения1.Хабриев Р.У.
