The article presents the results of a study carried out with the purpose of identifying motivation for self-preservation in Russian and foreign students with correctable and non-correctable health risk factors. The results of a representative survey of Russian and foreign students show that despite the abundance of health risk factors, most of them are correctable. At the same time, many students have some unsolved problems in the formation of self-preservation behavior, caused by both the presence of risk factors themselves, and also by the students' life-style, social and cultural peculiarities.
