Substantial social variations in SPH have been previously reported from Kazakhstan. Southern Kazakhstan is among the poorest regions of the country with limited health information in international peer-reviewed literature. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess SPH in Southern Kazakhstan and its associations with selected social factors and perceived environmental quality. Methods: Altogether, 1 148 permanent residents of the Turkistan region aged 16-63 years participated in a cross-sectional study. Data on SPH, age, gender, ethnicity, marital status, education, perceived environmental quality, smoking and alcohol consumption were collected by a questionnaire. Associations between SPH and selected socio-demographic and geographical variables were assessed using multivariable logistic regression. Crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR) were calculated. Results: Poor, satisfactory, good and very good SPH was reported by 4.4 %, 27.1 %, 55.3 % and 13.2 % of the participants, respectively. Men (OR = 2.11; 95 % CI: 1.53-2.89), cohabiting responders (OR = 2.37; 95 % CI: 1.30-4.35), those who perceived environmental quality as unhealthy (OR = 2.12; 95 % CI: 1.31-3.43) or satisfactory (OR = 1.75; 95 % CI: 1.16-2.66), smokers (OR = 1.64; 95 % CI: 1.02-2.64), alcohol drinkers (OR = 1.44; 95 % CI: 1.00-2.06) and residents of Ordabasinski district (OR = 1.98; 95 % CI: 1.22-3.23) were more likely to report poorer health (poor+satisfactory combined) than their counterparts in the reference categories in the final multivariable model. Conclusions: The observed variations in SPH in Southern Kazakhstan contribute to the knowledge on inequalities in health in Kazakhstan and warrant monitoring of health inequalities on the national level. Further research in Southern Kazakhstan should address the factors behind the associations documented in this study.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Введение. Субъективная оценка здоровья (СОЗ) является валидным прокси-индикатором фактического здоровья и может использоваться в эпидемиологических исследованиях. Предыдущие исследования показали существенные социальные различия в СОЗ. Южный Казахстан является экономически и экологически неблагополучным регионом с ограниченной информацией о здоровье населения в международной рецензируемой литературе. Цель. Изучить СОЗ населения на юге Казахстана в зависимости от социальных факторов и субъективной оценки экологического благополучия (СОЭБ). Методы. 1 148 человек из четырех сельских районов и? двух городов Туркестанской области участвовали в поперечном исследовании. Данные о различных аспектах здоровья и факторах риска собирали посредством анкетирования с помощью подготовленных сотрудников учреждений здравоохранения. Для данного исследования использовали только данные о СОЗ, возрасте, поле, этнической принадлежности, семейном положении, образовании, курении, употреблении алкоголя и СОЭБ в месте проживания. Связь между признаками анализировали с помощью многомерного логистического регрессионного анализа с расчетом нескоррективанных и скорректированых отношений шансов (ОШ) с 95 % доверительными интервалами (ДИ). Результаты. Распространенность плохой, удовлетворительной, хорошей и очень хорошей СОЗ составила 4,4 %, 27,1 % 55,3 % и 13,2 % соответственно. Мужской пол (OШ = 2,11; 95 % ДИ: 1,53-2,89), сожительство (OШ = 2,37; 95 % ДИ: 1,30-4,35), низкая (ОШ = 2,12; 95 % ДИ: 1,31-3,43) или удовлетворительная (ОШ = 1,75; 95 % ДИ: 1,16-2,66) оценка экологического благополучия, курение (ОШ = 1,64; 95 % ДИ: 1,02-2,64), употребление алкоголя (ОШ = 1,44; 95 % ДИ: 1,00-2,06) и проживание в Ордабасинском районе (ОШ = 1,98; 95 % ДИ: 1,22-3,23) были связаны с более низкой СОЗ. Выводы: Результаты исследования дополняют предыдущие казахстанские данные о социальных различиях в показателях здоровья населения и подтверждают необходимость проведения мониторинга социального неравенства, в т. ч. и по показателям здоровья. Дальнейшие исследования в Казахстане должны быть нацелены на изучение факторов, объясняющих выявленные статистические связи.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Self-rated health</kwd><kwd>social inequalities</kwd><kwd>perception of environment</kwd><kwd>Kazakhstan</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>самооценка здоровья</kwd><kwd>социальное неравенство</kwd><kwd>субъективная оценка экологического благополучия</kwd><kwd>Казахстан</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Abikulova A.
