Abstract
The aim of the research is to study the influence of personality traits and the life path on the rate of biological aging of adults, depending on their gender and age. Methods: diagnostic (questioning the life path, self-esteem of personality, determination of biological age) and statistical (automatic neural networks). Subjects: 987 people (including 575 women) aged 35-70 years from various regions of the Russian Federation. Continuous target variable: relative biological aging of the organism (Biological Age – Proper Biological Age). Continuous input variables: indicators of life path and personality self-esteem. Results: the general factors influencing the rate of biological aging were identified: negative factors that enhance aging - addictions and overwork; and positive factors that slow down aging are having children and professionalization. Personal indicators that changed their sign after a person retired were also found. Women changed their sign from negative to positive for indicators “work at the present time” and “study at the present time”, for men – “a positive attitude to pension reform” and professional activities of the types “Human-Technology”, “Human-Sign”. The negative strategies of organizing the life path leading to the acceleration of biological aging are highlighted: “forming the addictions and striving for excesses” and “multiplication of the load”. Positive strategies are also highlighted: “positive activity strategy” (for women and men of retirement age) and “family strategy” (for men of pre-retirement age).
Highlights
It is a known fact that people of the same calendar age have different rates of physiological and psychological aging
We conducted a study of the effect of personal characteristics on the biological aging index in women of pre-retirement age using the method of automatic neural networks
Its proportion was obtained, which it occupies in a given neural network, where the biological aging index was used as a target indicator
Summary
It is a known fact that people of the same calendar age have different rates of physiological and psychological aging. The rate of individual aging, along with heredity, is influenced by the characteristics of the external environment Biological age expresses the degree of morphological and psychological development of an individual. The biological age of an organism can correspond to the calendar age, there is normal relative aging, or it can exceed the calendar age, aging is considered accelerated, and may be lower than the calendar age - in this case, aging turns out to be slowed down, and this is considered the best option for an individual (according to V.P. Voitenko and A.V. Tokar) [4].
