Abstract
The quality of life (QL) of an able-bodied population of East economic zone (EEZ) of the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic by means of the standardized questionnaire of SF-36 was studied. Researches showed that mean values of scales of the population QL in the zone were at the level lower than 50%. The male population in EEZ had the best indicators of QL on all scales of the questionnaire of SF-36 in comparison with women’s. Dynamics of QL indexes of the population of EEZ of the RS (Ya) is comparable to the common regularities of change of QL with age received in other researches. However, it should be noted that decrease in parameters of quality of life generally happens due to deterioration in physical health. The QL psychological component practically does not depend on an age and remains invariable for a long time. These parameters were higher than the population indices in the republic.
