Abstract

The article deals with the methodical issues of the formation of classification characteristics for a typological analysis of young people in terms of health-saving behavior. Methodical solutions are proposed for introducing a set of mutually independent indicators – classification characteristics – based on the concept of a four-component model for measurement of health-saving behavior. That model has become widespread in Russian and foreign studies, its constituent elements relate to smoking/smoking cessation, to the use of alcoholic beverages, to the nature of nutrition and physical activity. The classification characteristics that describe such a basis for the typology are formed in the form of indices, constructed on the basis of a secondary conceptualization of the primary data from the Russian Monitoring of the Economic Situation and Health of the Population of the National Research University Higher School of Economics (RLMS HSE) (2017).
