EFFECTIVENESS OF A CORRECTIVE AND PREVENTIVE PROGRAM FOR WOMEN AGED 36–40 AIMED AT IMPROVING MORPHOFUNCTIONAL AND HEMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS AND REDUCING THE RISK OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

Abstract

Introduction. Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death worldwide, resulting in loss of working capacity and premature disability. Scientific publications devoted to the physical condition of people in early adulthood are increasingly focusing on the development and study of the impact of health and prevention programs on reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a corrective and preventive program for women aged 36–40 years, which is aimed at improving morphofunctional and hemodynamic parameters and reducing the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Research methods. During the screening stage, 16 women aged 36–40 with signs of risk factors for cardiovascular disease were examined. The assessment of risk factors for cardiovascular disease was carried out according to the methodology of Zapisochny A. Z., and the physical condition index of O. Ya. Pirogova was calculated. Results. Assessment using the Zapisochny A. Z. method before the experiment showed that women aged 36–40 years had predominantly low or critically low levels of subjective attitude to health (75%) and a clear risk of cardiovascular disease (100%). After completing the program, all participants experienced a decrease in their body mass index, with three women (12.5%) reaching normal levels. In the remaining participants, the body mass index remained within the overweight range, but in 67.75% of cases, it approached normal, which is a much safer indicator compared to the initial values. The dynamics of the results of the Pirogova O. Ya. test indicated the effectiveness of the author's program, which allows not only to reduce body weight and normalize hemodynamic parameters, but also to qualitatively improve the level of physical condition in accordance with generally accepted criteria. Before the experiment, all women had Pirogov O.Ya. index test values within the range of 1.37–1.497, which significantly exceeded the upper limit of 0.826. After completing the program, all participants showed a decrease in the Pirogov O. Ya. index values, which ranged from 0.475 to 0.731. Conclusions. The data obtained confirmed the effectiveness of the corrective and preventive program in normalizing the morphofunctional state of women aged 36–40. A decrease in body mass index by even 1–2 units at this age reduces metabolic load, improves the functional state of the cardiovascular system, and reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
