Introduction. Young people act as a basic component of the security of society. Physical development data is an indicator of the level of health of the population. Studying at the university coincides with the reproductive period. Adverse effects on the body of young people during this period can negatively affect the health of the next generation. Physical culture and sports activities allow students to integrate effectively into the educational space of the university.The objective of our study was to assess the morphological and medical and social characteristics of the physical development of the student youth in Saratov.Methods and materials. The study was conducted in 2018–2019 at the base of the department of physical therapy, sports medicine and physiotherapy in Saratov State Medical University named after V. I. Razumovsky. Respondents were the students of the Saratov State Medical University named after V. I. Razumovsky as the most promising group of young people in the preservation of reproductive health. Anthropometric parameters were carried out in accordance with the recommendations of V. V. Bunak. The study included anthropometric parameters: body weight, body length, and mass-growth correlation. We analyzed the values of the method «Diagnosing the real structure of value orientations». Analysis of self assessment of the level of health and assessment of their healthy lifestyle by the author’s questionnaire of a closed type.Results. Data of anthropometric parameters of physical development and body mass index of boys 2018–2019 tends to be overweight. S.S. Bubnova’s most preferred values for medical students are «help and mercy for people», «recognition and respect for others» and «pleasant pastime» that does not correlate with health care. Analysis of value priorities in the healthy lifestyle of medical students showed that the majority of respondents to health is not quite high role.Conclusion.

Background: Smoking is a common habit among the population in Kosovo. In the country, smoking occurs in public places, health and educational institutions despite being prohibited by law. Our objective was to describe smoking habits, knowledge and attitudes among medical students from all departments in the University of Prishtina, Faculty of Medicine. Methods: The present study followed the Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS) standardized methodology including data processing procedures. A self-administered questionnaire used was derived from the GHPSS. A total of 600 students were invited in the study while 470 returned questionnaires and participated in the study. Descriptive statistics were used to present the data. The Fisher’s exact test was used to test the significance and a p-value<0.05 was considered significant. Results: The prevalence rate of smoking among students was 16.9% (95% CI 13.2-20). Current smokers were 79 students, 28.2 % males, and 7.7 % females. The study showed that 55.5% of students smoke less than a pack of cigarettes per day. Almost half of them (47.6%) who smoke reported to have a smoker inside the family.  This study also revealed that 74.7% of respondents smoke in the presence of non-smokers on daily bases. Conclusion: Despite threating their own health, smokers also cause noxiousness to the society and medical students should be role models for the others by not smoking. Even though the percentage doesn’t show a high rate of smokers in Medical University of Prishtina, still we need to pay attention to bad smoking habits and try to lower even more the percentage of smokers.

Human health, in addition to social and spiritual well-being, is determined by its physical condition, which reflects the functional capabilities of the body, features of physical development and ensures working capacity in any activity, including academic workload, which is extremely important for students in higher educational institutions. The purpose of the study is to assess the health status of students at the School of Biomedicine of the Far Eastern Federal University. Material and methods. The health status of 184 medical students (147 young women and 37 young men) was assessed using a sociological survey (questionnaire) and a study of the component composition of the body using bioimpedancemetry. Results. The low physical activity, detected in 68% of students and bad habits (smoking tobacco) have been established to negatively affect students’ health. Among smokers, 75% of students live in dormitories on the university campus. According to the results of bioimpedancemetry, significant deviations from the age norm were noted in terms of body mass index (BMI) (50% of cases) and fat mass (FM) (71% of cases). Significant gender differences in the individual components of the body were not identified. Discussion. The most aggressive factors that significantly affect the health of students are unbalanced nutrition, lack of compliance with the regime of study and rest, lack of sleep and stay in the fresh air, lack of physical activity, lack of motivation for a healthy lifestyle. Significant deviations in BMI and FM, identified by bioimpedancemetry, indicate the risks of developing arterial hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and nutritional status disorders. Medical students need to give recommendations for increasing motor activity and changing diet. Conclusion. The results of the study can be used in the future to determine the functional state of students and develop preventive measures to preserve the health of medical students.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the biochemical and nutritional status of smokers in treatment for smoking cessation and its association with anthropometric parameters. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study with convenience sample. Adult smokers were assessed at the start of treatment in the Interdisciplinary Center for Tobacco Research and Intervention of the University Hospital of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CIPIT/HU-UFJF). We evaluated the body mass index (BMI), conicity index (CI); waist circumference (WC), percentage of body fat (%BF), fasting glycemia, cortisol, insulin, total cholesterol (TC), LDL-c, HDL-c, triglycerides (TG) and metabolic syndrome (MS). RESULTS: Most participants (52.2%) had MS and high cardiovascular risk. The fasting glycemia was abnormal in 30.4%. There was a significant positive correlation between BMI and WC (r = 0.90; p = 0.0001), %BF (r = 0.79; p = 0.0001), CI (r = 0.65; p = 0.0001), glycemia (r = 0.42; p = 0.04) and TG (r = 0.47; p = 0.002). The CI presented positive correction with insulin (r = 0.60; p = 0.001), glycemia (r = 0.55; p = 0.007), TG (r = 0.54; p = 0.008) and %BF (r = 0.43; p = 0.004). Patients with longer duration of smoking had a higher risk of developing MS (OR = 9.6, p = 0.016). CONCLUSION: The smokers evaluated had increased risk for developing MS, especially those with longer duration of smoking, requiring urgent smoking cessation.

The study of the basic laws of the formation of students' physical health is of great importance for the state not only as an economic, but also as a labor and defense potential of the country. The study of age dynamics is necessary also for the development of regional standards of physical development, physical fitness of population of young people, as well as for improving the system of health-saving technologies in the organization and conduct of the educational process in educational institutions. The aim of the study was to study the level of physical development and body composition of 1612 young men aged 17-21 living in the Republic of Mordovia. In the course of the work, 48 absolute anthropometric indicators were analyzed, characterizing the anatomical and functional characteristics of an individual. It was found that among young people a normosthenic type of constitution with a proportional chest, with a medium-sized head and andromorph body type is widespread. In the population of student’s males, the prevalence of persons with an average level of physical development, an average value of the vital index is characteristic, however, the strength index of the hand in most of the studied had an indicator below normal. The majority of students showed a normal body mass index with an average level of body density, with an increased relative mass of fat and muscle components and a reduced mass of the bone component, which is possibly a consequence of the body's response to the negative influences of environmental factors, as well as reduced motor activity and insufficient physical activity.

Цель - выявление особенностей динамики показателей тотальных размеров тела у студентов с различными соматотипами в возрастном периоде 17-22 года. Материал и методы. Исследование проводили в течение 2010-2018 гг. по результатам проспективных наблюдений показателей тотальных размеров тела у 530 студентов (240 юношей и 290 девушек) 17-22 лет в период их обучения в вузе. Типы телосложения определяли по методу В. Г. Штефко и Б. А. Островского (1929) в изложении С. С. Дарской (1975). Результаты. Среди обследованных студентов у 49,2 % юношей выявлены приросты ДТ, завершившиеся в 21-22 года, и у 35,6 % девушек, продолжающиеся только до 19-20 лет. У большинства студентов за время обучения в вузе отмечены приросты показателей массы тела и окружности груди, при этом также выявлены юноши и девушки, у которых эти показатели не изменились или даже снизились за исследуемый период. На старших курсах у большинства студентов приросты массы тела и окружности груди замедляются с остановкой ростовых процессов, но не прекращаются и ведут к увеличению числа студентов с избыточной массой тела, что подтверждается возрастанием численности молодежи с дигестивным типом телосложения и высокими значениями показателей индекса массы тела (BMI), в большей степени выраженным среди юношей. У студентов с торакальным типом телосложения, который является самым распространенным и динамичным соматотипом в исследуемой выборке, отмечены значимые приросты тотальных размеров тела. Аналогичная динамичность приростов выявлена у юношей с мышечным телосложением. За время обучения в вузе численность молодежи с торакальным типом телосложения снижается, при этом возрастает доля студентов с мышечным и дигестивным соматотипами. За время обучения в вузе у 14,1 % студентов меняется тип телосложения. Выводы. Выявлена обусловленность приростов показателей тотальных размеров тела у юношей и девушек в возрастном периоде 17-22 года типом телосложения, оказывающем влияние на скорость и направленность динамики показателей длины и массы тела и окружности грудной клетки. Objective - to identify the characteristics of the dynamics of indicators of total body size in students aged 17-22 years with different somatotypes. Material and methods. The study was conducted during 2010-2018 and was based on the results of prospective observations of morphological indicators of 530 students (240 boys and 290 girls) aged 17-22 during the period of study at the university. Body types were determined by the method of V. G. Shtefko and B. A. Ostrovsky (1929) as presented by S. S. Darskaya (1975). Results. Among the examined students, an increase in body length (BL) was found in 49,2 % of young men, and in 35,6 % of girls; the height gain stopped by 21-22 years in boys and by 19-20 years in girls. The majority of students during their study at the university showed increases in body mass and chest circumference. Boys and girls who demonstrated no change or even a decrease in these indicators during the study period were also found. In most senior students, gains in body weight and chest circumferences slowed down when the height growth ceased, but did not stop. It led to an increase in the number of overweight students, which is confirmed by the increase in the number of young people with an alimentive body type and high BMI values, more pronounced among boys. Students with a thoracic body type, which was the most common and dynamic somatotype in the studied sample, showed significant gains in total body size. Similar growth dynamics was found in boys with muscular body type. During training at the university, the number of young people with thoracic body type decreased, while the proportion of students with muscular and alimentive somatotypes increased. During the period of study in high school, the body type changed in 14,1 % students. Conclusions. The dependency of gains in indicators of total body size among boys and girls aged 17-22 on body type was revealed. The body type influenced the speed and direction of the dynamics of indicators of body length, weight and chest circumference.
