- Objective - to study separate parameters which characterize biological age in women of young reproductive age and to suggest the formula for its calculation in young reproductive period. Material and methods. 67 healthy women aged 20-34 years were selected. Parameters which characterized biological age namely systolic, diastolic, pulse arterial pressure, pulse wave diffusion speed in elastic and muscular vessels, lung vital capacity, time of breath holding in inspiration and expiration, lens accommodation, hearing threshold, static balance on one leg, body mass were determined; self estimation of health status and adult intelligence Wechsler test were carried out. The calculation of biological age was made by classic “Kiev” technique and by the modified technique with due regard to non-linearity of age alterations in static balance and accommodation. Results. The interrelation of some parameters studied namely lung vital capacity, pulse wave diffusion speed in elastic vessels, hearing threshold and the results of Wechsler test with calendar age in women aged 20-35 years was established by correlation analysis technique. The comparison of several methods demonstrated that the original technique showed significantly more accuracy in comparison with the traditional ones. Conclusions. The formula for biological age definition in women of young reproductive age was suggested; it included the parameters of lung vital capacity, pulse wave diffusion speed in elastic vessels, hearing threshold and Wechsler test results.
