Grades of the Index summarize over-all performance in bathing, dressing, going to toilet, transferring, continence, and feeding. More than 2,000 evaluations of 1,001 individuals demonstrated use of the Index as a survey instrument, as an objective guide to the course of chronic illness, as a tool for studying the aging process, and as an aid in rehabilitation teaching. Of theoretical interest is the observation that the order of recovery of Index functions in disabled patients is remarkably similar to the order of development of primary functions in children. This parallelism, and similarity to the behavior of primitive peoples, suggests that the Index is based on primary biological and psychosocial function, reflecting the adequacy of organized neurological and locomotor response.

Approximately 2700 record-keeping collaborators and their daughters were enrolled. Only records of greater than 6 months uninterrupted recording are included. A record of all surgery illness or medication which might influence menstruation was recorded as well. Age of the patient and age since menarche are recorded. By 1961 this study had accumulated 25825 person-years of menstrual experience with 2750 intervening pregnancies. Justification of the belief that women normally vary in menstrual interval around a value of 28 days was unsupported. Each woman has her own central trend and variation which changes with age. The menstrual interval should be expected to average within a few days of 28 when assembled in large groups. Variation as opposed to regularlity is the rule in the menstrual cycle. The early and late years of menstrual life have the greatest variation in pattern of both long and short cycles and tend to mirror each other. The middle years of menstruation is characterized by linear change in both central tendency and variation; falling 2-3 days in this age span. Variation in menstrual cycle reaches its minimum at around 36 years of age. Determining the pattern of variation in menstrual history for anticipated intervals needs further study. The practice of birth control through the use of rhythm methods alone must introduce elements of uncertainty which are serious problems.

Part of … Abstract Objective: The British Nutrition Foundation was recently commissioned by the Food Standards Agency to conduct a review of the government's research programme on Antioxidants in Food . Part of this work involved an independent review of the scientific literature on the role of antioxidants in chronic disease prevention, which is presented in this paper. Background: There is consistent evidence that diets rich in fruit and vegetables and other plant foods are associated with moderately lower overall mortality rates and lower death rates from cardiovascular disease and some types of cancer. The ‘antioxidant hypothesis’ proposes that vitamin C, vitamin E, carotenoids and other antioxidant nutrients afford protection against chronic diseases by decreasing oxidative damage. Results: Although scientific rationale and observational studies have been convincing, randomised primary and secondary intervention trials have failed to show any consistent benefit from the use of antioxidant supplements on cardiovascular disease or cancer risk, with some trials even suggesting possible harm in certain subgroups. These trials have usually involved the administration of single antioxidant nutrients given at relatively high doses. The results of trials investigating the effect of a balanced combination of antioxidants at levels achievable by diet are awaited. Conclusion: The suggestion that antioxidant supplements can prevent chronic diseases has not been proved or consistently supported by the findings of published intervention trials. Further evidence regarding the efficacy, safety and appropriate dosage of antioxidants in relation to chronic disease is needed. The most prudent public health advice remains to increase the consumption of plant foods, as such dietary patterns are associated with reduced risk of chronic disease.

Indeed," says Boyle, "the diaphragm forms the principal instrument of ordinary and gentle respiration, although to restrain respiration (if I may so call it), the intercostal muscles, and perhaps some others, may concur."* About this time (1667), Richard Lowert correctly describes the respiratory act, and makes a dog breathe like a brokenwinded horse, by dividing the phrenic nerve.These truths were not then relished, so that for nearly 100 years afterwards, a number of unfounded hypothetic and contradictory specn- lations continued to prevail.A Latin tract t appeared in 1671, and was noticed in the 5th volume of the Transactions of the Royal Society, p. 2141, wherein the author contends that the "lungs do not follow the motion of the thorax and diaphragm, nor are moved and plied like bellows, and that the diaphragm cannot move up and down ;" but the breath- ing operation is accounted for by curious motions, termed "Extrosum, Introsum, Intumescence, Propulsion," &c.There appears no proof that Galen believed in the exist-

The spatial distribution of component … The composition of the snow cover in different geomorphological zones of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (KBR) characterized as zones of background and impact effects is studied. The spatial distribution of component concentrations was analyzed, and the resulting data were compared with regulatory and technical documents regulating hygienic requirements. The studies showed that the snow cover in accordance with the classification of O.A. Alekin belongs to the following types: sodium bicarbonate type I, calcium bicarbonate, and ammonium bicarbonate. The total hardness characterizes the snowmelt water as soft. The agrochemical calculated parameters ‒ the sodium adsorption coefficient (SAR) and the Stebler irrigation coefficient ‒ characterized the samples as the ones having a low risk of soil salinization and good for irrigation applications. It was revealed that the high-altitude and mountainous territories are background ones, for which the determining factor in the formation of the snow cover composition is the long-range and regional transfer of soluble forms of components. The predominant influence on the snow cover chemistry in the background high-altitude and mountainous territories is exerted by the transboundary transport of sea salts through the Main Caucasian Ridge. The chemistry of the snow cover of the lowland zones of the KBR is associated with local pollution, mainly with poorly soluble compounds.

In military healthcare, comprehending the trends of infectious morbidity among female servicemembers is still a critical concern. AIM: This study aimed to analyze clinical characteristics of selected socially significant infectious diseases—tuberculosis, viral hepatitis, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection—among female servicemembers during a ten-year period (2012–2021). METHODS: Using data from medical reports (Form 3/MED) and annual reports (Form 4/MED) from 2012 to 2021, the Department of Public Health and Healthcare Organization at the S.M. Kirov Military Medical Academy analyzed the primary and hospital morbidity, work loss, and discharge rates among female servicemembers diagnosed with tuberculosis, viral hepatitis, and HIV infection. The study also analyzed open-access statistical data on morbidity in the Russian Armed Forces. Diseases and diagnostic categories were coded in accordance with the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision. RESULTS: Tuberculosis, viral hepatitis, and HIV infection together accounted for approximately 4.7% of primary morbidity due to class I diseases. The average long-term incidence rates per 100,000 were 13.9 for tuberculosis, 34.9 for viral hepatitis, and 6.1 for HIV infection, corresponding to 1.2%, 3%, and 0.5% of the class I disease structure, respectively (4.7% in total). Primary morbidity among female service members was lower by factors of 4.2 (tuberculosis), 2.2 (hepatitis), and 10.3 (HIV) than the Russian general population. The average long-term discharge rates per 100,000 servicewomen were 3.7 for tuberculosis, 9.7 for viral hepatitis, and 4.1 for HIV infection, accounting for 13.9%, 34.2%, and 15.2% of total discharges within class I diseases, respectively—63.3% in total. CONCLUSION: According to reportable morbidity types, a relatively low incidence of socially significant diseases was observed among female servicemembers. A disproportionately high percentage of discharges and deaths were caused by HIV infection. The documented rise in hospital morbidity, work loss, and mortality among female servicemembers due to HIV infection suggests delayed access to medical care. Key strategies for preventing these socially significant diseases include enhancing personal moral and medical literacy, promoting healthy lifestyles and health-preserving behavior, maintaining general hygiene, using barrier contraception, avoiding drug use, and ensuring timely access to medical care.

Проблема подростковой наркомании приобретает все более масштабный и опасный характер как в мире, так и в нашей стране, затрагивая как города, так и села. Это сложное явление, которое стремительно распространяется. … Проблема подростковой наркомании приобретает все более масштабный и опасный характер как в мире, так и в нашей стране, затрагивая как города, так и села. Это сложное явление, которое стремительно распространяется. Однако эффективная профилактика возможна и необходима. Для этого нужно объединить усилия всех заинтересованных сторон и использовать все доступные методы воспитания и обучения. Ключевую роль в предотвращении наркомании среди подростков играет образовательная профилактика, направленная на формирование у детей и подростков здорового образа жизни и негативного отношения к наркотикам. Только комплексный подход, объединяющий усилия семьи, школы, социальных служб и государства, может дать ощутимые результаты в борьбе с этим опасным явлением. Для разработки наиболее эффективных воспитательных программ необходимо также проанализировать опыт зарубежных стран, таких как Китай и Франция, так как именно данные государств ещё в XX веке начали разрабатывать различного рода воспитательные программы антинаркотической работы среди несовершеннолетних. Рассматривая две совершенно разные страны с точки зрения своего внутреннего устройства и менталитета, можно выделить общее и различное в специфике профилактических педагогических мер антинаркотического характера среди несовершеннолетних. Сходства и различия в антинаркотическом воспитании несовершеннолетних в Китае и Франции позволят выявить наиболее эффективные способы борьбы с наркоманией в подростковом возрасте. The problem of teenage drug addiction is becoming increasingly large-scale and dangerous both in the world and in our country, affecting both cities and villages. This is a complex phenomenon that is rapidly spreading. However, effective prevention is possible and necessary. To do this, it is necessary to combine the efforts of all interested parties and use all available methods of education and training. Educational prevention, aimed at forming a healthy lifestyle and a negative attitude towards drugs in children and adolescents, plays a key role in preventing drug addiction among adolescents. Only a comprehensive approach that combines the efforts of the family, school, social services and the state can give tangible results in the fight against this dangerous phenomenon. To develop the most effective educational programs, it is also necessary to analyze the experience of foreign countries, such as China and France, since these countries began to develop various types of educational programs for anti-drug work among minors back in the 20th century. Considering two completely different countries from the point of view of their internal structure and mentality, it is possible to identify common and different features in the specifics of preventive pedagogical measures of an anti-drug nature among minors. Similarities and differences in anti-drug education of minors in China and France will help to identify the most effective ways to combat drug addiction in adolescence.

Bronchial asthma (BA) is the most common chronic pathology in children. The basis of medical rehabilitation is currently a “multidisciplinary approach”, which includes, among other things, a personalized approach. Aim. Тo develop a comprehensive targeted program for medical rehabilitation of children with bronchial asthma, and to study the effectiveness of a comprehensive targeted program selected taking into account the individual characteristics of the child. Materials and methods. For each patient participating in the study, an individual targeted program of medical rehabilitation was developed in accordance with the procedures and standards of medical care, taking into account indications and contraindications, taking into account a multidisciplinary approach and rehabilitation methods, namely: climatotherapy, physiotherapy, speleotherapy, aromatherapy, inhalation therapy, oxygen therapy, hypoxic therapy, mechanotherapy, psychocorrection, massage, therapeutic exercise, phytotherapy. Patients were randomized into three groups, without reference to the treatment method or other factor. All three groups of patients received a basic program of medical rehabilitation, which included magnetotherapy, dry carbon dioxide baths, speleotherapy and therapeutic exercise. Results. Positiveindicators of clinical and laboratory results and subjective data as a result of rehabilitation were obtained in all patients from all 3 groups. In children with bronchial asthma of mixed genesis, as a result of complex treatment, a significant improvement was noted. These results allow us to speak about the significant effectiveness of individually selected targeted medical rehabilitation programs in patients with bronchial asthma. Conclusion. The use of an individual rehabilitation complex of procedures and treatment methods in pediatric patients with bronchial asthma is effective, it allows improving the condition and well-being of patients according to subjective sensations, as well as clinical and diagnostic indicators. It is possible to recommend the introduction of the use of these programs in medical rehabilitation of this group of patients.

Thirty four patients who suffered coronavirus pneumonia were included. Of these, 21 people had bronchial asthma, 13 had COPD. 18 patients received a course of pulmonary rehabilitation and formed the main group (MG); the remaining 16 patients, without pulmonary rehabilitation, were included in the comparison group (CG). Investigations such as markers of inflammation; indicators of thromboembolic complications, humoral immunity; functional indicators of external respiration, CT-scan of the lungs, international questionnaires were performed twice: at baseline and after 3 months. Results. In patients with MG, unlike CG, the total number of leukocytes and lymphocytes decreased by 2.4 times; ESR normalized, C-reactive protein decreased by 24%. D-dimer and fibrinogen levels came to the reference values. IgA in the main group increased by 1.83 times (p0.001). In patients with MG, the dyspnea index according to mMRS decreased by 0.65 points (p0.001), CAT-test – by 1.28 (p0.001). The average volume of lung tissue damage in the MG changed from 43.5% (±10.1) to 16% (±9.21) (p0.001), and in the CG changed from 39.6% (±8.87) to 37.8% (±7.24). In the main group, vital capacity and FEV1 increased by 1.5 times (p0.001) compared to the control group. Conclusion. The course of pulmonary rehabilitation turned out to be effective: patients showed positive dynamics in terms of blood test parameters, humoral immunity, external respiration function, and their quality of life improved and the risk of developing pulmonary fibrosis has decreased.

Some students integrate into this new environment rather quickly; others face emotional stress, psychosomatic symptoms, and social isolation. While some students adapt to this new environment very easily, others suffer emotional upset, psychosomatic illness, and social isolation. For some, this failure to adapt can result in withdrawal from university. This may result in negative attitudes towards university, poor family relationships and career failures. The purpose of this paper is to theoretically address the psychosocial determinants of university adaptation like gender, social support, financial status, locus of control, homesick-ness, and personality traits.

Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional study’s target population consisted of 50 countries in the WHO European Region with complete observations. The study utilizes NCDs data that the WHO publicly released. Analysis was performed using the R programming language and Microsoft Excel. Results: Based on the CRITIC (CRiteria Importance Through Intercorrelated Corrected) weighted WASPAS analysis, it was observed that 24 European countries exhibited Q scores above the average, while 26 countries displayed Q scores below the average. Finland, Cyprus, Switzerland, Spain, Iceland, Iceland, Sweden, Slovenia, Italy, Norway, Latvia, Portugal, Luxembourg, Belgium, France, Greece, the Netherlands, Germany, Malta, Austria, Ireland, Israel, Lithuania, Israel, Lithuania and Estonia have the highest Q scores. Twenty-four countries with above-average Q scores have lower NCD prevalence than twenty-six European countries. In Türkiye, the prevalence of NCDs is above the European average. However, Switzerland, Finland, Iceland, Spain, Cyprus, Slovenia, Sweden, Portugal, Norway, and Luxembourg are among the top 10 European countries with the lowest NCD prevalence in the overall MULTIMOORA ranking. According to the overall ranking, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan have the highest NCD prevalence. Conclusions: The findings from the CRITIC based WASPAS method and the CRITIC based MULTIMOORA indicate that the prevalence of NCDs generally varies according to income level. Higher-income countries note a lower prevalence of NCDs compared to those with lower income levels. Nonetheless, the prevalence of NCDs may differ among various socioeconomic groups.

It is relevant to develop and implement innovative methods for identifying the initial stages of functional stress in modern children and adolescents, determining the reserve capabilities of the body using regional evaluation centile tables, calculating integral standardized indices, to optimize the level of both medical and pedagogical control and population monitoring. The aim of the study : is to assess the functional reserves of children and adolescents in the Nizhniy Novgorod region in different exoenvironments using the index of the body′s reserve capabilities. Materials and methods . Determination of the index of reserve capacity of the body (IRCB) of 5034 children and adolescents aged 7–17 years (2 332 boys, 2 702 girls), based on the results of measuring physiometric indicators with the conversion of their absolute values into the range of centile intervals of the regional standard, logarithmization according to the innovative formula. Results. The presented physiometric indicators of children and adolescents signifi cantly ( p <0,05) correlate with the index of reserve capabilities of the body IRCB: weak connections ( r =0,2–0,3) with vital capacity of the lungs, hand dynamometry, negative averages ( r =–0,4–0,5) with functional tests of Stange, Genchi, body weight. Dispersion analysis of IRCB showed average values of the IRCB index in the range of 0,6–0,81, a signifi cant difference ( p <0,05) between age was revealed, homogeneity of this characteristic was shown between sex groups ( p =0,861). Good and excellent IRCB indices were found in 55,78 and 20,44 % of cases, satisfactory in 20 % and unsatisfactory in 5 % of cases, respectively. IRCB indices signifi cantly ( p <0,05) rank with the level of environmental stress in the areas of residence, their values are reduced in 7,38 % of children of all ages in areas with critical environmental stress. Signifi cant ( p <0,001) differences in IRCB index values were found in the context of areas of residence, according to social (urban/rural: χ 2 =40,29; Df=3; p =0,001) and geographical (north/south: χ 2 =41,54; Df=3; p =0,001) characteristics. Conclusion . The results of the study showed that a comprehensive assessment of the body′s functional reserve characterizes the physical development of children and adolescents as a refl ection of the combined manifestation of their hereditary properties, living environment conditions, Frequency distributions of IRCB scores in the range from unsatisfactory to excellent demonstrate the sensitivity of the index to a complex of environmental factors. IRCB as a unifi ed normalized index complements the standard arsenal of indicators, improves the quality of assessing the level of functional state of modern students in real time, without the use of additional instrumental examinations when conducting scientifi c population monitoring and in the implementation of current medical and pedagogical control.

U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 378 očeva, prosječne dobi 45 godina (SD = 5,836), dok su djeca u odnosu na koju se procjenjivala rizičnost za zlostavljanje u prosjeku imala 13 godina (SD = 0,756). Kao kriterijska varijabla koristio se Inventar rizičnosti za zlostavljanje djeteta (Child Abuse Potential Inventory; Milner, 1986). Pokazalo se da je 13,4 % očeva prema blažem, odnosno 7,8 % prema strožem kriteriju, rizično za tjelesno zlostavljanje djece. Viša životna dob, niži mjesečni prihodi kućanstva, percipirana lošija kvaliteta partnerskog odnosa, češća primjena psihičke agresije u partnerskom odnosu, veći broj visoko stresnih događaja u posljednje tri godine te veća uznemirenost svakodnevnim stresom povećavaju rizičnost za zlostavljanje djeteta, dok bolje strategije nošenja sa stresom te donekle i veći doživljaj socijalne podrške smanjuju rizičnost. Nalazi su raspravljeni pod vidom izrade programa za osnaživanje pojedinaca i obitelji s djecom koji žive u ekonomskim teškoćama i imaju više sukoba u partnerskim odnosima te promjena u području socijalnih politika koje to mogu olakšati.

Approximately 95% of skeletal size, bone, and muscle mass is achieved by the age of 18, with a rapid acceleration in bone mineral accumulation and muscle growth during the adolescent … Approximately 95% of skeletal size, bone, and muscle mass is achieved by the age of 18, with a rapid acceleration in bone mineral accumulation and muscle growth during the adolescent growth spurt. Bone mineral status in children and adolescents in Kazakhstan is a relevant subject for both clinical and fundamental research. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) and the factors associated with it in children and adolescents living in the Abay region of Kazakhstan. The target group consisted of children and adolescents aged 5 to 17 years (n = 509) who had been residing in the Abay region of Kazakhstan since birth. Based on physiological age, participants were divided into two groups: 5-10 years (preschool and early school age) and 11-17 years (adolescence). All participants completed a questionnaire and underwent bone mineral density assessment using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Comparisons were made between two age groups (5-10 and 11-17 years) and based on the presence or absence of reduced bone mineralization. Regression analysis identified four factors independently associated with reduced bone mineralization: ionized calcium (AOR 2099.9; p = 0.007), age (AOR 1.21; p = 0.013), body weight (AOR 0.97; p = 0.047), and green vegetables (AOR 0.46; p = 0.017). Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that 50.5% of children aged 5-10 years and 57.4% of adolescents aged 11-17 years had BMD below the age-specific norm. The study identified several risk factors that are associated with a decrease in BMD. These include blood ionized calcium, age, inadequate consumption of fruits and vegetables and dairy products, low physical activity, and insufficient sun exposure. These findings highlight the importance of early prevention of osteopenic conditions beginning in childhood and adolescence.

The main target guidelines are early detection of people with high risks of cardiovascular pathology, reduction of the level of impact of these factors, and maintenance of the highest possible percentage of people with a minimum level of risk of developing CVD. It is necessary to single out in a separate category people who have a history of diseases that can become a trigger for cardiovascular pathology. To study the current state of the problem of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in rural and urban residents. The presented article is of a review nature, which determines the use of theoretical research methods. In writing the work, we used the following methodological approaches: meta-analysis of literary sources, critical and conceptual analysis. High blood pressure (BP), high glucose and cholesterol levels in the blood of patients are grounds for increased monitoring. It is important to identify the risk of developing atherosclerosis long before the first signs appear. Conclusions: risk factors should be assessed continuously and should be carried out whenever a patient seeks medical care. It is also important to involve local therapists in systematic monitoring of the cardiovascular system based on specially developed criteria for express diagnostics.

Studies highlight the role of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) … Habitual excessive accommodation tension (HEAT) in children is associated with ciliary muscle spasm, reduced distance visual acuity, and asthenopic symptoms. Studies highlight the role of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in accommodation regulation, while an imbalance between sympathetic and parasympathetic activity, triggered by stress and visual load, may contribute to the development of HEAT. Modern diagnostic methods, such as heart rate variability and pupillometry, enable the study of ANS influence on accommodation. Various correction approaches are considered, including pharmacological and physiotherapeutic methods, as well as restoring autonomic balance. Further research is needed to explore the impact of the ANS on accommodation in children.

Given that in recent years the situation in Ukraine is characterized by continuously growing demands and psychological stress on the younger generation, which are determined by the action of various mass psychogenic factors, studies were conducted among "socially isolated" social and biological orphans, "socially neglected" adolescents due to the "migration boom" and in asocial families. The purpose of the study is to identify and systematize the factors that led to the growth of disorders in the mental sphere. The novelty of the work is to argue the mechanism that causes changes in the structure of the individual's mental activity, when an unformed personality (adolescent), remaining emotionally isolated in society from a person close to him (most often his mother), for different periods of his life in terms of duration, finds himself in conditions of psychological discomfort, which contributes to the emergence of non-psychotic and psychotic mental disorders and behavioral disorders. Conclusion. Considering that there are no generally accepted epidemiological data on the prevalence of social functioning disorders (ICD-10. F 94) due to: emotional social deprivation (ESD), which arose in children deprived of parental care; biological deprivation (BD) due to true orphanhood; social and maternal deprivation (SMD) due to labor migration of an emotionally important person in their life, most often a mother; family deprivation (SD) due to misunderstanding in the family and social and psychological deprivation (SPD) due to disruption in interpersonal relationships with peers or elders among children of different ages in Ukraine. All this determined the relevance and prospects of the conducted studies in the dynamics (2002-2006)

Regions of Interest (ROI) permitted the determination of nasal/heart max pixel ratios (NHMRs). The triglyceride/HDL ratio has been described as a marker of insulin resistance. The objective of our study was to correlate triglyceride, HDL, and the triglyceride/HDL ratio with NHMRs to determine if NHMRs are associated with insulin resistance. Methods: Of our 200 patients with calculated NHMRs, 168 had both HDL and triglyceride laboratory values available. A Pearson’s correlation test was performed using the lipid ratios vs NHMRs. Results: There was a significant positive association between triglycerides (p=0.011, R=0.019), and the triglyceride/HDL ratio (p=0.0173, R=0.183) vs NHMRs. (See attached figure) HDLs alone were not significantly correlated (p=0.095, R=-0.129). Conclusion: Patients with elevated NHMRs have a positive correlation with triglycerides and triglyceride/HDL ratios suggesting NHMRs can be used as a marker of insulin resistance; however, the correlation is weaker with NHMRs when compared to other components of metabolic syndrome including BMI, glucose, diabetes, sleep apnea, and hypertension. Disclosure W.T. Phillips: None. J. Chmielecki: None. A. Vemula: None. J.G. Schwartz: None.

The aim was to compare growth trajectories assessed by z-Height and z-BMI over three years between children with new-onset T1DM and a control group without T1DM across multiple Latin American centers. Methods: In a retrospective analysis of medical records, age, sex, and anthropometric measures were collected over three years (2021-2024) in children with T1DM onset and their controls from ten Latin American centers. A mixed-effect model was used to analyze z-height and z-BMI over three years. Results: The study involved 534 children (48.3% F) aged 8.4 y, comprising 245 with T1DM onset and 289 controls. Children with T1DM had a significantly lower z-BMI than controls, with mean differences of -0.71, -0.33, and -0.28 in years 0, 1, and 2, respectively. However, by year 3, the difference (-0.18) was no longer significant. While the z-height of the controls remained stable over time, the T1DM group experienced a sharp decline, resulting in a significantly lower z-height (-0.25) in year 3. Conclusion: Our z-BMI findings indicate that diagnostic delay may still affect children with T1D in Latin America, while our z-Height findings indicate that even with treatment and equalization of z-BMI, children with T1D in Latin America experience some growth retardation compared to their peers.

Methods: From October to November 2022, a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select students from Year 4 of primary school to Year 3 of senior high school across 14 prefecture-level (autonomous prefecture) cities in Hunan Province for vision screening and questionnaire surveys. A multilevel regression model was utilized to analyze the influencing factors of myopia at both the school and individual levels. Results: A total of 189 343 primary and secondary school students were included in this study. The overall myopia detection rate was 55.56%, with a significantly higher prevalence observed in female students (60.49%) compared to males (51.03%) and in urban students (59.12%) versus those from rural areas (53.50%). A marked upward trend in myopia prevalence was identified with advancing grade levels (trend test χ²=16 246.13, P<0.001). Multilevel regression analysis revealed that at the individual level, female gender, higher grade level, parental myopia history, daily homework duration ≥2 hours after school, improper reading/writing postures, and taking breaks only after more than 15 minutes of near work were associated with an increased risk of myopia. Conversely, adequate sleep duration, outdoor activity ≥2 hours, and outdoor breaks during recess demonstrated protective effects. At the school level, non-compliant blackboard illumination uniformity emerged as a significant risk factor for myopia development. Conclusions: The detection rate of myopia among primary and secondary school students in Hunan Province remains relatively high and is associated with multiple factors at both the school and individual levels. Targeted interventions should be implemented at different levels to mitigate the risk of myopia.

The relationship and the degree of influence of individual factors and their combinations on increasing the health rating in the value hierarchy of respondents was determined. Thus, the most significant motivational factors influencing the formation of a HL were identified. Conclusions. A higher tendency to prioritize one’s health was observed among respondents from non-medical faculties, in whom this indicator was significantly higher by almost 3.9 times compared to respondents from medical faculties (p < 0.001). Among the reasons that reduce the value of health, the reluctance to get rid of bad habits, the presence of serious chronic diseases, lack of financial conditions, as well as failure of family members and friends to adhere to the rules of a HL was revealed. Respondents identified the advice of family members and educational programs as the priority source of information about a HL.

Among these diseases, thyroid gland pathology has stood out, influenced by the ecological state, as a consequence of environmental pollution with chemical waste and iodine deficiency. The concentration level of sodium and potassium ions in the blood is minimally altered in the early stages of diffuse thyrotoxicosis. However, in patients with diffuse thyrotoxicosis associated with fibrillatory arrhythmias, these changes are more noticeable. In all stages of thyrotoxicosis, an increased level of thyroid hormones has been observed. The evolution of diffuse thyrotoxicosis shows changes in cardiac activity, which involve the increased tension of the regulatory mechanisms and the reduction of the functional reserves of the body. A reduced functional reserve coefficient indicates a decrease in the body's adaptive capacity and its "physiological output".

The experimental study involved 195 students in grades 10-12 (91 boys, 104 girls). The results of the study revealed that high school students prefer such lifestyles as: pragmatic, careerist, intellectual. and demonstrate a pronounced rejection of such lifestyles as: marginal, learned helplessness style, mental insolvency and “glamorous” style. The gender aspect of the manifestation of lifestyles among high school students indicates that girls are more likely to choose an intellectual style, which indicates gender specificity in the approach to solving life problems, personal development and social adaptation. Both boys and girls predominantly choose pragmatic and careerist lifestyles. Analysis of the gender variable identified statistically significant differences.

Conventional prevention strategies have not fully succeeded in reducing smoking rates among youth. Digital interventions (DI) present an innovative approach to engage and educate this demographic. This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of digital interventions in preventing smoking among school-aged children (6-12 years). PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and PsycINFO were searched on April 4, 2024, and updated on April 10, 2025. PRISMA 2020 guidelines were followed to conduct the review. Protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD 42024534528). From 3330 identified records, 19 studies were reviewed. These studies utilized DIs, such as mobile applications, web-based programs, and multimedia campaigns, targeting knowledge enhancement, attitude shifts, and behavioral changes related to tobacco use. The findings reveal that DIs significantly improve knowledge about smoking risks and positively influence attitudes, particularly through interactive and gamified approaches. However, the effectiveness varied depending on factors such as intervention design, participant demographics, and follow-up duration. Behavioral outcomes, such as reduced smoking intentions and prevalence, showed mixed results, with sustained engagement being a critical factor for long-term success. Family-based and culturally tailored interventions demonstrated additional potential for reinforcing preventive behaviors. Despite methodological diversity and moderate bias risks in some studies, the evidence supports DI as a scalable and accessible strategy for tobacco prevention among youth, particularly in underserved populations.
