Abstract: 

The research object of the study is represented by the adult working age population of the Russian Federation.

The aim of the study is to develop proposals for improving preventive work with the population based on investigating medical and demographic indicators and analysis of morbidity among the adult working age population of the Russian Federation.

The study relied on using analytical methods, statistical methods, and direct observation. We used data provided by Rosstat and the Russian research Institute of Health, the RF Ministry of Health, over the period 2014–2023 and data taken from federal and branch statistical reports.

Over five years (2019–2023), the working-age population increased from 82 to 85 million. The mortality rate of the population of the Russian Federation decreased after a sharp rise in the year of COVID-19 (2019) and in 2023 the indicator became lower than in 2019, amounting to 1206.2 ‰00. At the same time, the mortality rate of the working-age population decreased after a sharp increase in 2020, but in 2023 it remained slightly higher than in the pre-COVID period, which determines the importance of preserving the health of the country's human resources. In the structure of newly identified morbidity of the adult working-age population of the Russian Federation (in 2023), the class of respiratory diseases is in the first place (more than 40 %), followed by injuries, poisoning and some other consequences of exposure to external causes, diseases of the genitourinary system, diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, etc. Analysis of the primary and general morbidity of the adult working-age population in the Russian Federation in dynamics in the pre-COVID year (2019) and the years of the pandemic (2020-2023) revealed an increase in certain diseases caused or complicated by COVID-19, which require rehabilitation, more intensive preventive work and mass health examinations with wider coverage.

In conclusion, we propose some organization forms of preventive work with the population, including working age population.
