Methods of multidimensional analysis were used to assay the significance of the physiological and behavioral characteristics of the population of the able-bodied men of the city of Minsk as regards the efficacy of interventions carried out. It has been shown that the population takes a more active part in the implementation of measures of conventionally medical nature. Deviations in the health status and physiological characteristics revealed by screening favour a more careful attitude to the performance of the recommendations made. The low social status and the presence of pronounced harmful habits are significant predictors of a negative attitude towards preventive interventions.
