Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to determine the role of behavioral risks in increasing biological age indicators. A new formula for calculating the biological age (BA) was plotted, based on the data obtained for 499 employees using the V.P.Voytenko's method. It was found, that the maximum difference between biological and chronological (CA) ages are observed in workers with the lowest level of physical activity (0,54±0,3 years). In addition, there is a maximum number of health complaints in this group. With an increase in BMI by one kg/m2, the difference between biological and chronological ages grow by 0,16 of the year. We conducted a two-factor analysis of variance in order to figure out the combined effect of behavioral risks on the BA-CA value. At the maximum level of smoking and the lowest level of physical activity, the highest difference values between BA and CA are observed.

The cellular clock theory posits that the human lifespan is closely tied to the finite capacity of cells to divide, a phenomenon governed by telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of...

Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
