The paper shows that an important factor in maintaining health in severe climatic conditions of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is a balanced protein-lipid type of food recommended in SB RAMS. In 1992 the normative zoning established standards for the Republic of the protein:fat:carbohydrate (82.8:78.6:386.3 g/day), they were rather high for that period, but significantly lower than necessary, but their adoption ensured systematic social protection of the population. We analyzed the gradual reform of norms and limits of the regulatory zoning of the food basket in the Republic. It was established that the introduction at the regional level of two regulatory zones since the III quarter of 2002, relevant for this period, has led to a sharp deterioration in the socio-economic situation of the population. The structure protein:fat:carbohydrate (70.0:60.69:330.8) and the energy value of food in the food basket in the second regulatory zone have become practically comparable with the norms of the regions of southern Siberia. The norms protein: fat:carbohydrate (79.3:74.7:312.3 g/day) for 2013 remain below those recommended by the SB RAMS. On average, the deviations of protein and fat norms in the Republic in 2013 remained at the level of 1992 and amounted to 41 and 49 %, respectively. The paper demonstrates that the transformations are associated with a sharp decrease and slowdown in the growth rate of the living wage - the basic parameter of the socio-economic security of the population. The decrease in the level of social protection of the population was accompanied by an increase in mortality, especially from dis eases of the circulatory system and digestive organs. The largest contribution to overall mortality at both the regional and mu nicipal levels is made up of mortality from diseases of the circulatory system (44 %). It is necessary to change the normative zoning of the food basket with the maximum approximation of the norms to the protein-lipid type of nutrition to enhance the social security of the population of the northern territories.
