Health state in the young people is a serious problem in
Ukraine. Many of them have abundant weight, use fats and
take alcohol as well as they have got low physical activities.
We have assessed interconnections between nutrition, smoking
and alcohol intake on head blood perfusion in the medical
students to gain such a goal as feeding and life style correcting.
Using rheoencephalography (REG), anthropometric
data has been gathered on 97 medical university students with
regard to nutrition, smoking and alcohol intake. Average student
age was 19,1, 0,2 years, body mass was 65,8, 1,4 kg,
height was 173,4, 1,0 cm, Body Mass Index (BMI) was 24,9
1,4 kg/m.
REG data showed that blood perfusion in the front part of the
head is reduced in 29,9 % of subjects surveyed, is normal in
37,7 %, and is increased in 32,5 % of cases. Rear head blood
perfusions are reduced in 45,5%, are normal in 24,7%, and
are increased in 29,9 % of those surveyed. The blood perfusion
in the front part of the head was correlated inversely with body
mass (τ =-0,39, p <0,001), height (τ =-0,42, p <0,001), body
surface area (τ =-0,45, p <0,001), BMI (τ =-0,30, p <0,001), and
coefficient of hand force (τ =-0,29, p <0,001). Also a negative
relationship was observed with the use of lard (τ =-0,21, p
<0,05), intensity of smoking (τ =-0,30, p <0,005 and τ =-0,27,
p <0,02 accordingly), incidence of alcohol intake (τ =-0,25, p
<0,02 and τ =-0,21, p <0,05 accordingly). The blood perfusion
level of the back part of the head had a negative correlation
with body mass (τ =-0,30, p <0,001), body surface area (τ =-
0,27, p <0,001), BMI (τ =-0,31, p <0,001), coefficient of hand
force (τ =-0,21, p <0,02) and level of emotional stress during
the previous year (τ =-0,23, p <0,05).
A positive correlation of blood perfusion of the front part was
observed with the level of consumption of fresh fruit (τ =0,33,
p <0,02), vegetables (τ = 0,34, p <0,001), and fish (τ = 0,24, p
<0,001). Similarly, the blood perfusion of the back part of the
head also had a positive correlation with the level of consumption
of fresh fruit (τ = 0,26, p <0,001), vegetables (τ =
0,23, p <0,001), and quantity of fish (τ = 0,37, p <0,001).
The blood perfusion level of the back part of the head had a
positive correlation with the training success of the students
(τ = 0,27, p <0,005). Thus, the use of fresh fruit, vegetables
and fish may increase the level of blood perfusion of the head.
Smoking and the frequent use of alcohol may decrease the
level of blood perfusion of the head.
Where applicable, the authors confirm that the experiments
described here conform with The Physiological Society ethical
requirements
