Health as a value is constantly relevant, which is the reason for research concerning this aspect. The purpose of our study was to empirically examine the relationship between individual typological characteristics of a person and the degree of importance a person gives to the value of “own health.” As a result, personal traits were identified that are characteristic of individuals who place the value “health” on the upper and middle levels of personal values hierarchy.

The importance of the "own health" value for a person has recently become increasingly great. It is particularly relevant for middle-aged people, but the degree of its importance varies among this contingent. The purpose of our study was to study and identify the most characteristic individual typological features of a person who attaches great importance to the value of "own health". As a result, individual typological features were identified that are characteristic of people who differently assess the degree of significance of the value “own health”.
