The value of health is considered as both human, personally significant and social capital, that is a must to achieve high indices of social development and to ensure national state security. The measures of state policy of the Russian Federation are targeted to develop culture of self-care behavior of citizen of the Russian Federation that is reflected in such national projects «Health care» and «Demography» that are implemented until 2024. To assess self-care behavior, it is necessary: to determine the need for longevity and degree of its implementation in various socio-demographic groups; to assess specifics of self-care behavior in context of motives of achieving longevity; to determine feedback in various socio-demographic groups to demographic policy measures to preserve population health and to reduce mortality; to analyze popular practices of self-care behavior.
