A review of literature concerning various aspects of children’s and young students’ health and behavioral risk factors affecting its forming is presented. The significant role of pre-school and school education factors in maintaining and improving of younger generations’ health is revealed. Negative aspects of the educational process are: overload with the additional classes adapted from primary school programs at kindergartens, academic overload, irrational schedule, use of innovative teaching methods and technologies that are not suitable for students’ age and physiological features; authoritarianism of modern school, sanitary and epidemiologic requirements noncompliance. Additional risk factors are present in older adolescents: high incidence of out-of-school labor activities (up to 50% of pupils), bad habits, the emergence of occupational exposures, low levels of knowledge in the sphere of self-safety behavior, as well as external causes. Apart from irrational day regimen, academic overload, intensity of exams, behavioral factors are also in the basis of students’ health decrease. The absence of system approach and continuity in solving of the children’s and young students’ healthy lifestyle problems is demonstrated.

There are many known and unknown risk factors affecting fertility. Nowadays although infertility risk factors have been revealed with the researches carried out today, studies are still going on for many factors brought about by modern life. Nurses should be aware of risk factors that negatively affect fertility in order to prevent deterioration of fertility abilities of individuals. Infertility nurses should assess life-style behaviors in detail while taking anamnesis from couples who have fertility problems or apply for long-term and financially expensive treatment methods such as assisted reproductive techniques. In addition, nurses should do counseling to couples on lifestyles that have an impact on the fertility of individuals and follow the current literature on the subject. Especially risky lifestyle behaviors should be improved if there is no time problem for the couple. Otherwise, treatment strategies should be developed to change these behaviors and individual care plans should be provided to individuals about healthy lifestyle behaviors. In addition, nurses should train couples for risk factors. In this context, the risk factors causing the infertility and nursing roles will be discussed in our review.

Preserving the working longevity of locomotive crew employees is one of the priority tasks of Russian Railways. The urgency of the problem is related to both the medical aspects of railway traffic safety and the importance of preserving human capital. The aim of study is to research the influence of occupational and behavioral risk factors on health disorders in drivers and their assistants. The study included the results of a survey of 9308 employees of locomotive crews on the presence of production and behavioral risk factors for health disorders, as well as on the presence of cases of temporary disability, hospitalization or unscheduled medical care in the previous year. Additionally, the results of clinical and laboratory studies were studied. Noise exposure is the main production factor affecting the unscheduled attendance of locomotive crew employees to the doctor, the number of cases of temporary disability and hospitalization. Only 13% of respondents have a high level of commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Among employees who are not exposed to industrial noise, the number of people who have a high commitment to a healthy lifestyle is 2 times higher than among those who complain about the presence of an acoustic factor. The main differences in adherence to a healthy lifestyle between people who have and do not have complaints about the negative impact of the sound factor are related to alcohol abuse (1.4 times more often used by people working in conditions of noise exposure), frequent use of semi-finished products and fatty foods (1.2 times more often). Among people exposed to industrial noise, a body mass index (BMI) exceeding 25 kg/m2 is 1.5 times more common than in people who do not have noise exposure. The frequency of occurrence of blood pressure is more than 130/80 mm Hg. and blood cholesterol more than 5 mmol/l, respectively, is 1.9 and 2.2 times higher in individuals with intra-cab acoustic load, compared with those without. An increase in the number of cases of temporary disability, hospitalization, and unscheduled visits to a doctor in people who report exposure to noise in the driver's cab may be associated with both occupational and behavioral factors: alcohol consumption, poor nutrition, and a high proportion of people with a BMI exceeding 25 kg/m2.

Abstract: Today, the older generation is the fastest growing population in the world. At the same time, older people represent a significant labor resource. With the increase in the retirement age, the question of developing measures to preserve and strengthen the professional health of workers is becoming acute. Objective of the study: to assess the gender characteristics of the level of health and the prevalence of behavioral risk factors for the lifestyle of teachers of a medical university of pre-retirement and retirement age in order to develop measures to preserve the working capacity and professional qualifications of this contingent of workers. The study involved 169 teachers of a medical university aged 55-70 years. A complex of anthropometric measurements, blood pressure assessment was carried out. With the help of the author's questionnaire, behavioral health risk factors were studied. The assessment of the incidence rate was carried out based on the results of periodic medical examination of employees. Significant differences were revealed in most indicators of morpho-functional status, representing the risk of developing diseases of the cardiovascular system in male teachers compared with female teachers. Male teachers are characterized by a high prevalence of behavioral risks and a low degree of implementation of the principles of a healthy lifestyle, which generally determines an increased risk of chronic non-communicable diseases. Analysis of the gender characteristics of chronic pathology showed that at the time of the medical examination, more chronic diseases were revealed among women. Among men, deviations in laboratory tests were significantly more often detected and at the same time they did not go to doctors with symptoms that were associated with these changes, in contrast to women who undergo the necessary therapy prescribed by a doctor.

The formation of a healthy lifestyle and a healthy lifestyle in the work of various activities, developing a program that includes appropriate measures to correct the functional state of employees of nervous and emotional labor, is currently one of the essential areas of occupational health. The study aims to assess the prevalence of behavioral risk factors for health disorders and the effectiveness of measures to correct overstrain in pedagogical and medical workers, depending on the personal level of anxiety. The researchers conducted comprehensive physiological and hygienic studies. We described behavioral risk factors, awareness of health-saving issues based on a questionnaire (346 teachers), a professional graphical assessment of the intensity of efforts. Psychophysical studies help to study the states of various functions of the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system, psychological testing, and general physical performance (GPP) according to the RWC170 test when evaluating the implemented model of motor activity and assess the effectiveness of relaxation in the shungite room. We performed static processing of the data obtained using statistical programs EpiInfo 3.5.2., Statistica 10, Microsoft Excel 2010 using adequate methods of statistical analysis. The study of the prevalence of the factors risky cheek of life for the health of teachers revealed insufficient physical activity (61.1% (95% CI 54.7-67.2)), inadequate sleep duration (46.1% (95% CI 40.0-52.4)), eating disorders (16.2% (95% CI 11.9-21.5)) tobacco smoking (15.8% (95% CI 11.5-20.9)). The developed and implemented regime, which increases the volume of motor activity to 8-9 hours a week instead of 3-4 hours, contributed to an increase in resistance to stress effects, a decrease in the percentage of identified teachers with a low level of physical fitness. A high degree of nervous and emotional tension in the work of general practitioners, the possibility of infection with COVID-19 leads to the formation of a high level of anxiety in a significant part (63.7-72.2%) of medical workers, which indicates the purposefulness of a psychological correction measure. The conducted production studies have shown the usefulness of using in programs for correcting the functional conformity of pedagogical and medical workers, an increase in motor activity using physical culture and sports, and relaxation in the shungite room.

High Schoolers

Introduction: In recent years, much attention has been paid to conditions of forming high schoolers’ health. Characteristics of the high school age largely determine the future of a person, his physical and mental health, the success of inclusion in adulthood, and realization of the reproductive potential. Health disorders in this period are largely determined by the influence of behavioral risk factors. Our objective was to assess the prevalence of behavioral health risk factors among Moscow high schoolers and to study their gender characteristics in order to determine up-to-date priorities of adolescent hygiene and school medicine. Materials and methods: In October 2018, a survey of 2,254 Moscow adolescents in grades 10–11 (15–18 years of age) was conducted using a questionnaire based on that of the World Health Organization collaborative cross-national survey “Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children”. Results: The most common risk factors in high schoolers included intensification of learning (90.5 ± 0.6 %) and high levels of screen time (92.0 ± 0.6%) that significantly increased daily visual workload of adolescents and might induce vision disorders (49.9 ± 1.1% of respondents), frequent headaches (56.2 ± 1.1%), and back pain (43.5 ± 1.0%). The majority of respondents also noted mood swings (71.8 ± 0.9%) and weakness after school (69.6 ± 1.0%). Almost half of the students (45.3 ± 1.1%) rated their health as satisfactory or poor. Conclusions: The irrational use of electronic devices in the educational process and at leisure can negatively affect the daily routine of schoolers causing reduction in the time spent on physical activities and outdoors and a decrease in night sleep duration. For most high schoolers malnutrition is yet another adverse factor characterized by imbalance and irregularity. Our findings help identify priority strategies of health promotion among high schoolers and appropriate preventive measures in view of the identified behavioral risk factors having a negative impact on adolescents’ health.

This article studies the measures to increase motivation of the first-year students in terms of health-preserving activity. The study involved first-year students of various specialties of H. S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University (Ukraine). The study was performed in three stages. At the first stage, we conducted an anonymous test to determine the motivation of future professionals towards health-preserving activity, the results of which has shown, that 46% of students had a low level and did not have a need for health care; they were not motivated to a healthy lifestyle, while having harmful habits, 35% of students had an average level and were willing to take measures to support their health. And only 19% had a higher level of motivation for health-preserving activitie. At the second stage in the educational process the formation of sustainable motivation and values to health-preserving activities was provided by non-traditional lectures (problem-solving lectures, lectures-presentations, lectures-discussions, organization of practical and seminar classes using innovative teaching methods, organization of educational activities). As an outcome of conducted activities we arranged an anonymous survey among students, the results of which has shown that the level of students motivated to health-preserving activities has increased. 30% of students had a high level of motivation. The majority of students (48%) had an average level of motivation for health-preserving activities and expressed a desire to be engaged in health activities. Students who had a low level of motivation also reconsidered their habits and began to pay attention towards their own health support. Their number decreased to 22%. This indicates the effectiveness of various measures in the educational process to increase student motivation for health-preserving activities. Such data indicates on the effectiveness of health activities support during the educational and training activities of students.
