Abstract:
The most significant risk factors (RFs) that determine an increase in the incidence of chronic non-communicable diseases in young males are alcohol and drug abuse (73.3% and 15.1%, respectively), low physical activity (78.7%), the impaired regimen of diet, and its worse quality (30.3%), poor conditions for academic work on their own (28.2%), smoking (50.4%), the insufficient duration of nocturnal sleep (22.1%), and excessive body weight (19%). The trend is towards the wider spread of RFs and their association with age. The negative influence of the above RF on the body leads first to destabilization of its functional status and then creates conditions for the occurrence of chronic diseases.
