[Association of age-dependent magnetosensitivity dynamics with arterial hypertension]
Abstract:
The purpose of the research was to define magneto sensitivity degree in males depending on age and presence or absence of arterial hypertension. It has been shown, that at aging in the examined groups the number of males possessing high magneto sensitivity degree according to hypotensive type of cardiovascular reaction to magnetic test is decreasing (30,2% in children and up to 0% in males of senile age) and increasing (2,2 up to 36,0%, correspondingly) - according to hypertensive type. In the group of middle aged males with arterial hypertension the number of high magneto sensitive persons on hypertensive type was 5 times higher as compared to the group of practically healthy males of similar age. The results obtained demonstrate that at aging reactions of cardiovascular system on external physical impacts essentially change, dependence of an organism on changes of the geomagnetic field amplifies and probability of risk of hypertonic crisis development during the fluctuations of the Earth magnetic field increases.
