Currently, an urgent problem is to increase the level of health-saving behavior of secondary school students. One of the effective ways to solve this problem is to integrate medical knowledge into educational programs. The purpose of this study is to study the impact of the inclusion of medical knowledge in the educational process on the health-saving behavior of schoolchildren. The study was conducted on the basis of 5 secondary schools in Moscow during the 2022-2023 academic year. 450 students of grades 7-9 took part in the experiment, which were divided into experimental (n=225) and control (n= 225) groups. In the experimental group, additional medical blocks were included in the educational program, consisting of 30 hours of theoretical and practical classes. The assessment of health-saving behavior was carried out using questionnaires and analysis of medical documentation before and after the experiment. According to the results of the study, it was revealed that the integration of medical knowledge into the educational process has a statistically significant positive effect on the health-saving behavior of students. In the experimental group, the proportion of schoolchildren adhering to the principles of a healthy diet increased by 22.4% (p<0.05), the number of students regularly engaged in physical activity increased by 18.7% (p<0.05), and the prevalence of tobacco smoking decreased by 31.2% (p<0.01). In addition, the number of school days missed due to illness decreased by 27.6% (p<0.05) in the experimental group.
