CHRONIC NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASE RISK FACTORS AS PREDICTORS OF PROXI-DISEASES

Abstract

Aim. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the risk factors of chronic non-communicable diseases as predictors of proxy diseases, as well as to develop recommendations for the prevention of these diseases based on the collected data on student youth.

Material and methods. The object of the study is the students of the Zhukovsky and Gagarin Air Force Academy in Voronezh. The study was conducted using a questionnaire method with anonymous surveys, in which 46 cadets participated.

Result. In the course of the survey, it was found that among cadets there is a high prevalence of modifiable risk factors, which in turn increases the likelihood of developing chronic non-communicable diseases. Of the 100% of the surveyed cadets, it was found that 28.3% smoke; a significant part of the respondent’s drink alcohol, which is also a bright indicator of risky behavior. In addition, it was found that lack of physical activity and incorrect eating habits affect the health of students. Conclusion. Risk factors of chronic non-communicable diseases play an important role in predicting proxy diseases, which is important for maintaining the health of cadets. Maintaining their health plays a key role in shaping military discipline and maintaining law and order. Attention to the risk factors of chronic non-communicable diseases will help in developing effective preventive measures aimed at maintaining the health of military youth.

Conclusion. Chronic inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs are often accompanied by inflammatory anemia, which in turn is associated with an imbalance in the production of positive and negative regulators of hematopoiesis, primarily cytokines and hepcidin. In this regard, the determination of these indicators can be used as markers of the severity of the anemic syndrome and immune dysfunction in patients with this pathology.
