The study assesses the prevalence of anxiety and depression among labor migrants in the Moscow region of the Russian Federation. Against the background of active flows of labor migration, the region is the most popular, receiving 60-80 thousand people annually. However, labor migrants are a socially vulnerable category of the population, have low opportunities to seek medical care, carry out preventive measures and maintain a healthy lifestyle. At the same time, risk factors for chronic non-communicable diseases are widespread in this environment: bad habits, eating disorders, high blood pressure and diabetes. Certain differences are observed when comparing the urban and rural population. The authors of the article analyzed the described factors in order to identify correlations with anxiety and depressive disorders and discuss possible solutions to existing problems in the context of global experience and trends.
