The final qualifying work on the topic "The link between education and health. Case in Russia" is devoted to the study of the connection between education and health. In particular, in this paper, the impact of education on the level of health, which the respondent has on his own assessment, is analyzed. The first chapter is devoted to the study of terms health and education. The second chapter analyzes well-known practices of assessing the impact of the level of education on the level of health. The third chapter is devoted to econometric analysis: data and methods, and data analysis process itself. The aim of the work is to determine the connection between education and health in Russia and the definition of its nature. The work is based on data from the RLMS-HSE database for 1994-2015. Based on the results of the regression analysis, the positive effects of education on health were found. The causal relationship between education and health was not confirmed. Education affects the level of health, however, other factors also affect the level of health, and there is no definite direct connection. This study does not purport to get rid of the problem of the endogenous nature of education, since there are no data that could be used as tools in analogy with foreign practices.
