Abstract

Purpose: to reveal the risks of diseases development in young people in terms of individual time perception.

Materials and Methods. A questionnaire of 200 people aged from 18 to 22 (100 females and 100 males in each group) for the purpose of identifying the risk factors (RF) and for determining the individual index perception of time (τ) by the method of Tsukanov B. Y was conducted.

The questionnaire consists of grouped questions concerning the risk factors of pathology of the cardiovascular system, urinary system, gastrointestinal tract.

Results.  Men with τ = 0.7–0.8 have a higher risk developing gastrointestinal tract diseases, as they drink more often alcohol and in greater amounts also they are more often overweight and are more often exposed to stress. There is a probability of higher risk of arterial hypertension development in women at τ = 0.8–0.86. Men with τ=0.86–0.94 compared to women, have a higher chance of kidney disease pathology development, because they are more often exposed to hypothermia and drink more water, thereby increasing pressure on the kidneys. Greater tendency to hypodynamics, predominance smoking, consumption of excess salty foods and significantly burdened hereditary history of cardiovascular pathology at τ = 0.94–1.00 in men indicates a high risk of developing future pathology of the heart vascular system (coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease).

Conclusion. The results indicate that there is a connection between certain risk factors of diseases development with τ-type in respondents. Defining the τ-type for patients will predict the risks of development of a certain pathology and will offer them a set of individual preventive measures.
