Abstract: This paper attempts to assess the effect of work stress, physical occupational hazards, smoking, alcohol consumption, and low physical activity on the health of Russia's employed population. For this, a multivariate probit model is used, which makes it possible to reduce the effect of unobserved heterogeneity. The results demonstrate that univariate probit models may underestimate occupational factors and overestimate lifestyle determinants.
