THE INTERRELATION OF BIOLOGICAL AGE OF THE STUDENTS WITH THE INDICES OF BODY MASS, ITS COMPONENTS, AND THE CONSTITUTIONAL TYPE
The relationship of biological age with the indices of body mass, body composition, and constitutional type was studied in 832 students aged 18-22 years (302 youths and 530 girls). To determine the biological age, the method of V.P.Voytenko (1981) was used that allowed to establish functional class, rate of aging and health condition. It was found that almost half of the students had poor health associated with the accelerated rate of biological aging. A decline in the proportion of active cell mass and an increase in body fat mass was noted. In 40.6% of students with normal values of body mass index, excessive amount of body fat was determined by bioimpedance method. 62.2% of the students with an accelerated rate of biological aging had an increased content of a fat component in the body.
