Abstract

As a result of a complex of theoretical and experimental studies, the guidelines and manifestation of the connections of the main physical and geographical parameters of the environment with certain indicators of the phenotype and social status of the population of the Russian Federation have been determined. At the same time, as model regions, reflecting the actual range of sets of environmental influences on human, the Astrakhan Region, the Republic of Karelia, the Arkhangelsk Region, the Irkutsk Region, the Primorsky Territory, the Saratov Region, the Leningrad Region, the Rostov Region, the Volgograd Region, the Republic of Crimea, the Krasnodar Region, Astrakhan Oblast, the Republic of Karelia, the Voronezh Region were involved. The social status of the population was determined on the basis of the official Rosstat data. The experimental evaluation of the population phenotypic traits was performed on representative samples of indigenous populations of the model regions. It has been revealed that the geographical coordinates of the place of residence, as well as the mean annual temperature and solar radiation, have a statistically significant level of individual links with both somatotype indices (growth, body mass index) and with parameters of behavioral activity and social status of the Russians (social activity, aspiration assistance to others, the level of serious crimes, deaths from homicides, suicides and neoplasms, the level of voluntary abortion, alcoholism, divorce rate, population density, quality oflife).

Keywords

physical and geographical parameters of the environment, population phenotypic variability, somatic status, psychological status, social status, environmental risks of social tension.
