Abstract

The study of education as a factor influencing various aspects of self-preservation behaviour is due to its role in exacerbating or alleviating inequalities in physical, social, and mental health. Particularly relevant is the study of the relationship between health characteristics and the educational level of family members in age dynamics, which expands the understanding of the determinants of self-preservation behavior and is important in the context of the implementation of family and demographic policy aimed at strengthening the values of family and active longevity. The results obtained from the analysis of data from the comprehensive sociological study 'Demographic Well-Being of Russia', which was conducted in ten regions of Russia between 2019 and 2020, demonstrate a non-linear relationship between the age and education level of children and their parents, and indicators of attitudes towards individual life expectancies, the obstacles to achieving them, the assessment of living conditions, family life and health. A stable correlation was found between the level of education and indicators of the subjective assessment of obstacles to achieving the desired life expectancy (which were rated higher by more educated people than by their less educated peers), as well as existing problems in respondents' families (which were, on the contrary, given lower ratings by respondents with a higher level of education). Contradictory results were obtained with regard to attitudes towards desired and expected life expectancy, assessment of living conditions and self-assessment of health. These results were characterised by age and/or educational differentiation, indicating the need for additional quantitative and qualitative research aimed at expanding understanding of the influence of educational level on individual aspects of self-preservation behaviour, taking into account age dynamics
