As a result of the MPR, the increase of the SAMintegral index in BG was 23% compared to the initial level, the decrease of RA about -14%; in the CG, similar changes amounted to an average of 15% and -8%, respectively (р<0,05). Th e increase of the AA-integral indicator in BG was averaged 38% of the reference level, in CG - about 20% (p=0.015).
