The prevalence of polymorbidity and its features in military personnel of various age groups was studied. It has been established that polymorbidity during medical examinations of military personnel occurs in all age groups, increasing with age. For each age group of military personnel, its characteristic polymorbidity models are formed. So, in the age group up to 35 years, polymorbidity occurs in one third of the examined and is characterized by both functional disorders of the circulatory system and digestive organs, and the presence of organic pathology of the circulatory system (congenital malformations (developmental defects), mitral and other valve prolapse), digestive organs (chronic gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease) and the musculoskeletal system (flat feet, dorsopathies). At the age of 35 to 45 years, polymorbidity occurs in93,5% of those examined and is characterized by the presence of a cardiac and gastroenteric component in all polymorbidity models, in 80% of the models - the musculoskeletal component, in 60% - the metabolic component, in 40% - the endocrine component. Polymorbidity occurs in 97,5% of those examined over the age of 46 years and is characterized by the presence in all models of polymorbidity of the cardiac, cerebrovascular and musculoskeletal component, in 75% of the models - the metabolic component, in 50% - the endocrine component.

Abstract. Summary. The leading cause of mortality, temporary and permanent disability is "age-dependent" (age-associated) diseases, the main of which are pathologies of the cardiovascular system. The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of diseases of the circulatory system in workers of the transport industry in various age groups. Materials and methods. The data of objective periodic and preliminary medical examinations conducted in the FSBSI «Izmerov Research Institute of Occupational Health», among Metro employees for people, were analyzed. The assessment was carried out in various age groups, starting from the age of 30 to 70 years (in increments of 5 years). The prevalence of diseases of the circulatory system in workers of different ages was analyzed. Results. There is a pronounced tendency to increase the prevalence of diseases of the cardiovascular system with age in Metro workers. There was a significant increase in the relative risk of diseases characterized by high blood pressure in all age groups relative to the previous age group, except for the 70-74 year group, in which the risk does not increase relative to the 65-69 year group, which indicates a gradual increase in the prevalence of the disease with increasing age. The prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD) was also estimated. An increase in the frequency of occurrence of this pathology has been shown from the age of 55-59 years.

Aim. The determination of age-specific coefficients of pathologies in the team of SUE “Vodokanal of St. Petersburg” for 2015–2017. Methods. The study was conducted in the Medical unit of SUE “Vodokanal of St. Petersburg” in 2015–2017. 8600 people were followed up for 3 years. During the study, extensive indicators of the structure of the pathological process and intensive indicators characterizing its prevalence were calculated. Results. As a result of the study, it was found that the first place (27.1%) in the structure of pathologies both in men and women is occupied by diseases of the eye and its adnexa. At the second ranked place (25.7%) there were diseases of the circulatory system. As a result of the study, age groups with a high rate of increase in morbidity were identified. Thus, the rate of increase in the detection of pathology of the circulatory system at the transition from the age group below 25 years to the age group 25–29 years was 73.7% among men and 80.4% among women. It was found that diseases of the ear and mastoid process were more common among men, and the greatest increase in the incidence was recorded in the age group 25–29 years. At the same time, diseases of the genitourinary system were more common in women, and the highest incidence rate was revealed in the age group 40–44 years. Conclusion. Тhe results indicate the need for a differentiated approach to planning the volume of preventive work in different age groups of employees of the housing and communal services enterprise.

Several studies emphasize that temperature-related mortality can be expected to have differential effects on different subpopulations, particularly in the context of climate change. This study aims to evaluate and quantify the future temperature-attributable mortality due to circulatory system diseases by age groups (under 65 and 65+ years), in Lisbon metropolitan area (LMA) and Porto metropolitan area (PMA), over the 2051–2065 and 2085–2099 time horizons, considering the greenhouse gas emissions scenario RCP8.5, in relation to a historical period (1991–2005). We found a decrease in extreme cold-related deaths of 0.55% and 0.45% in LMA, for 2051–2065 and 2085–2099, respectively. In PMA, there was a decrease in cold-related deaths of 0.31% and 0.49% for 2051–2065 and 2085–2099, respectively, compared to 1991–2005. In LMA, the burden of extreme heat-related mortality in age group 65+ years is slightly higher than in age group <65 years, at 2.22% vs. 1.38%, for 2085–2099. In PMA, only people aged 65+ years showed significant temperature-related burden of deaths that can be attributable to hot temperatures. The heat-related excess deaths increased from 0.23% for 2051–2065 to 1.37% for 2085–2099, compared to the historical period.

Заболевания полости рта являются одними из наиболее распространенных заболеваний, с которыми сталкивается здравоохранение во всем мире. Эта проблема затрагивает людей всех возрастных групп. Анализ литературных данных позволяет выделить множество факторов риска развития кариеса и его осложнений, которые могут касаться военнослужащих помимо несбалансированного питания, курения, неудовлетворительной гигиены полости рта и нерегулярного посещения стоматолога. Множество международных исследований демонстрируют актуальность проблемы стоматологических заболеваний среди военнослужащих, указывая на отсутствие своевременной диспансеризации, низкую мотивацию к регулярному посещению стоматолога и тщательному проведению самостоятельной гигиены полости рта. Кроме этого, стоит учитывать специфику выполняемых военными задач за весь период службы, во время которых они оказываются под воздействием множества неблагоприятных факторов, которые в свою очередь, влияют на микроэлементный состав организма, что непосредственно влияет на общее состояние здоровья. Необходимость применения в армии РФ более актуальных по своему составу витаминно-минеральных комплексов (ВМК) уже неоднократно описана в современных исследованиях. Но до настоящего времени не проводилось работ по изучению взаимосвязи между микроэлементным статусом организма и состоянием твердых тканей зубов и пародонта Diseases of the oral cavity are one of the most common diseases that public health has worldwide. This problem affects people of all age groups. An analysis of literature data allows us to identify many risk factors for the development of caries and its complications, which may concern military personnel in addition to unbalanced nutrition, smoking, poor oral hygiene and irregular visits to the dentist. Many international studies demonstrate the urgency of the problem of dental diseases among military personnel, indicating the lack of timely medical examination, low motivation for regular visits to the dentist and thorough self-hygiene of the oral cavity. In addition, it is worth considering the specifics of the military tasks performed for the entire period of service, during which they are influenced by many unfavorable factors, which in turn affect the microelement composition of the body, which directly affects the overall health. The need to use in the army of the Russian Federation more relevant in its composition vitamin-mineral complexes (VMC) has been repeatedly described in modern studies. But so far no work has been done to study the relationship between the microelement status of the body and the state of hard tissues of teeth and periodontium

Relevance. Health maintanance and professional longevity are primary objectives of medical and psychological support for personnel of EMERCOM of Russia. Information about the state of health of military personnel and civilian personnel of rescue military units of Emercom of Russia, as well as military units for radiation, chemical and biological protection was not found in the available literature.Intention. Clarify data on the state of health of military personnel and civilian personnel of rescue military units of Emercom of Russia for developing evidence-based preventive and rehabilitation measures in the future.Methodology. The health status of the personnel of rescue military units of Emercom of Russia was studied on the model of the Federal State-Owned Institution Nevsky Rescue Center of Emercom of Russia (Kolpino, St. Petersburg) based on the results of periodic medical examinations in 2015–2016.Results and Discussion. The overall prevalence of diseases revealed in military and civilian personnel during the annual medical examination was similar, including the main classes of diseases, and averaged 2 diseases per 1 person. The overall prevalence of diseases in the older age group (30–44 years) of military personnel 1.2–1.4-fold (p = 0.021) exceeded that of the younger (18–29) age group of military personnel as well as of both age groups of civilian personnel. No convincing impact of professional experience on the prevalence of diseases was revealed.Conclusion. The levels and structure of pathology revealed during periodic medical examinations in military personnel and civilian personnel of the Nevsky Rescue Center had no statistically significant differences, suggesting the fundamental similarity of the nature and intensity of occupational factors. At the same time, age rather than the duration of professional activities influenced the frequency of the revealed pathology in the studied sample. Weighted indicators of public health over a longer period of time (5+ years) will help eliminate stochastic effects and make reasonable conclusions about the prevalence of diseases in various military rescue specialists.

Introduction and Aim: Flat foot or pes planus results from collapse of the arches of the foot. Etiology, however varies in different age groups. As anthropometric measurements are age dependent, their correlation with different foot postures should be age specific. Our study aimed at using Plantar arch Index (PAI) to identify prevalence of flat foot in a young student population and find any association of obesity with flat foot.   Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 150 medical students of a medical college. Staheli’s method was used to calculate PAI after collecting the footprints of students by ink method.   Results: Prevalence of type III flat foot deformity was 6%, with a male preponderance. The PAI values ranged from 0 to 1.818. No association was found between obesity and PAI.   Conclusion: Obesity was not associated with flat foot in the age group 18-25 years probably indicating different etiology for acquired flat foot in this age group. Our study also suggests that simple ink print method is a simpler method to diagnose flat feet deformity clinically using PAI.

SummaryCollagen mediated platelet aggregation caused -5.6 ± 6.7% inhibition and +39.1 ± 15.2% potentiation of prekallikrein activation in plasma from normal healthy volunteers between 20–40 and 50–65 years of age, respectively (n = 15, p <0.01). The amouns of platelet factor-four (PF4) released in the two groups were not significantly different. Collagen treatment in the presence of indomethacin caused +11.5 ± 3.6% and +59.6 ± 19.5% potentiation in the 20–40 and 50–65 age groups respectively (p <0.02). Adrenaline mediated platelet aggregation caused -55.2 ± 7.1% and -35.2 ± 8.3% inhibition in the 20–40 and 50–65 age groups, respectively. Collagen treatment of platelet-deficient-plasma and platelet-rich-plasma in EDTA also caused potentiation of prekallikrein activation.The results indicate that the observed degree of prekallikrein activation after platelet aggregation is a net result of the inhibitory effect of PF4 and the potentiatory effect of activated platelets. The potentiatory effect was greater after collagen treatment as compared to adrenaline treatment, and in the 50–65 age group as compared to the 20–40 age group.

The practice of placing deprived children having least or no emotional and material resources, in orphanages has since long been prevailing in socio -economically poor Asian countries. A sample of 30 children residing in orphanage in district Anantnag in the age group of 13-18 years was selected for the present study. Most of the children were found socially and psychologically disturbed. As per Indian Academy Paediatrics (IAP) classification with respect to weight for age the condition was not bad that as approximately 67% percent of the children were found to be normal. In the same way height for age as per Waterloo’s classification shown that more than half of the children were normal. On clinical examination approximately 47% of children were normal, while as rest were suffering from dispigmentation of hair, moon face, xerosis of skin cheilosis, magenta tongue, spongy bleeding gums, oedema, conjuctival xerosis, and mottled dental enamel. The findings indicated that nutritional intake was deficient for all nutrients when compared to, Recommended Daily Allowances Chart (RDA) for all age groups which may be linked to poor planning of menus in orphanages.

Relevance. The study of age-related features of microcirculation in periodontal tissues, using non-invasive functional research methods, allows us to develop the optimal range of therapeutic measures, as well as form a “personalized therapeutic case”.Purpose. Study of the functional state of the microvasculature in the tissues of the parodont in individuals of various age groups.Materials and methods. A standard dental examination of 80 patients was carried out, the sample of participants was ranked in 4 groups by age: 1 group – 12 years old, 2 group – 15 years old, 3 group – from 16 to 18 years old, 4 group – from 22 to 24 years old. Hygiene and periodontal indices were determined for all patients, such as papillarymarginal-alveolar (PMA) in the Parma modification, the Mulleman bleeding index in the Cowell modification (SBI), and the simplified Green Vermillion index of oral hygiene (OHI–s), caries intensity indicators for a permanent bite (CPI), as well as ultrasound dopplerography of periodontal tissues using the apparatus "Minimax-Doppler-K".Results. When studying microcirculation in periodontal tissues, distinctive characteristics of linear (Vas) and volumetric (Qas) blood flow rates, as well as indicators of pulsation indices (PI) and peripheral resistance (RI) in people of different age groups were recorded.Conclusions. This study confirms the presence of various hemodynamic indicators of periodontal tissues in the studied groups, which is due to structural features of the circulatory system in age periods.
