Introduction. Overweight and obesity are the fifth most important risk factor, determining high mortality from noncommunicable chronic diseases in the world. Currently, the social status of educational institutions is highlighted as one of the priority areas for the development of education in Russia, which implies the creation of a safe living environment and conditions for maintaining the health of students and teachers. Key to ensuring a favorable educational process is the health of the scientific and pedagogical worker as an example for students to follow. Aim of this study — medical and social assessment of the health status of employees of educational institutions of the Republic of Tatarstan. Material and methods. This study involved 200 employees of educational institutions of the Republic of Tatarstan. Examination included: filling out questionnaires with a block of sociological issues at a specialist appointment at Health Centers; measurement of anthropometric parameters, blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol levels by express method; a study of the electrical activity of the heart, which was carried out using a computerized complex of a monitor cardiorespiratory system and tissue hydration (M-AP-01 Diamant). Results. In the examined cohort, the body mass index (BMI) ranged from 17.31 to 44.58 kg/m2, on average — 27.47±5.04 kg / m2. Overweight was registered in 39.5% of cases, normal body mass — in 31.0%, obesity of I degree — in 19.5%, II degree — in 6.5%, III degree — in 2.5%. A statistically significant direct weak correlation was established between serum glucose and BMI (p=0.009). The correlation of BMI with cholesterol was not statistically significant (p=0.349). Conclusion. When analyzing the health parameters of scientific and pedagogical workers, it was found that with an increase in age, BMI increases. With BMI values exceeding reference values, the incidence of chronic diseases and hypertension increased. It was also shown that a high BMI has a significant adverse effect on the functioning of the cardiovascular activity, carbohydrate metabolism, etc.
