Description
Summary:	To study the lifestyle of students, the spread of bad habits and the self-appraisal of their health status, a sociological survey was made among the indigenous dwellers of a large industrial town and nonresident students. A slight deterioration of health indices was revealed in the students residing in a chemically polluted area of the town and in those who had come from other environmentally unfavorable areas of the republic. These changes may be associated not only with the known reorganization of the pattern of academic activities and lifestyle, but also with the adverse physicochemical influence of a new environment. Changing the environment may promote the strain of mechanisms responsible for adaptation and health destabilization.
