Abstract

Totality of pathologic processes that caused the abovementioned changes may be more precisely identified as a «social stress». Specific cause of social stress appearance lies in loss of effective labor motivation by society. Chronic social stress leads to exhaustion of general adaptive syndrome, disturbance of dynamic stereotype of higher nervous activity, formation of «programmed organism death – fenoptoz» phenomenon and also appearance of high heterozygosity of population gene pool. There was shown the possibility of quantitative estimation of social stress intensity. There was proved the priorities of population health improvement and way out from demographic crisis.
