Impact of abiotic factors of the environment on functional health of women of different age groups

Abstract

The article deals with the influence of abiotic environmental factors on functional health of women of different age groups. It has been found that the main regulatory mechanism of a living organism that provides homeostasis is the autonomic nervous system. On the changes of internal and external environment by means of vegetative-humoral mechanisms regulation of functional (physiological and pathological) oscillatory processes in the basic systems of organs takes place, it determines the degree of adaptive reaction of an organism to influences of these factors. The study of the state of the autonomic nervous system is a primary task in terms of physiological and functional systems adaptation to the conditions of life, including the effects of pathological factors on the organism. It is known that the evaluation of the functioning of the autonomic nervous system can serve as a physiological marker for identifying mechanisms of individual variability and responding to environmental factors. The article presents the results of studies of the influence of some abiotic factors, namely the phases of the moon, on the autonomic balance of the human body, the ratio of activity of the sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic nervous system and the functional health of women of different age groups. It is established that the influence of such abiotic factor as the change of the phases of the moon leads to significant changes in the functional activity and homeostasis of the body. The indicators of the phases of the monthly activity of the functional systems, duplicating the line of the norm, have the same orientation, they differ in amplitude, form the age-specific features of the tone of the autonomic nervous system and the state of functional health in women of different age groups.
