Abstract

Aim is to study heredity state among the university students and determine its relation to self-assessment of health.Methods. There are the results of examination of 66 Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University students. These were 30 males (45,5 %), and 36 females (54,4 %). Average age was 19,47±1,94 (95 % C.I.: 18,99–19,95) years old. Heredity state was investigated by survey of students using special questionnaire containing questions about closest or distant genetic relatives having been diagnosed different diseases or pathological conditions. For self-assessment the V.P. Voitenko questionnaire (1991) was used.Results. Heredity state among the university students is characterized with closest relatives having been diagnosed hypertension – 45,5 % (30/66), allergic reactions and/or bronchial asthma – 27,3 % (18/66), and digestive tract diseases – 27,3 % (18/66) of cases, and with distant relatives having been diagnosed malignant states (cancer) and allergic reactions, and/or bronchial asthma – 10,6 % (7/66) of cases for both indicators. According to the students’ self-assessment, among most of them (54,5 %; 36/66) poor or ill health states were revealed. Current health state of those surveyed substantially depended on closest relatives having been diagnosed hypertension (χ2=18,48, p=0,02991), and respiratory diseases (χ2=25,53, p=0,00242).Conclusions. Heredity state among students is characterized with closest relatives having been diagnosed hypertension, allergic reactions and diseases, and digestive tract diseases, and current health state is characterized as poor and ill (54,5 %; 36/66) being substantially related to genetic relatives having been diagnosed hypertension and respiratory diseases.
