Evaluation of indicators of physical development and quality of life of students of M. K. Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University

The aim was to evaluate the indicators of physical development and quality of life in students of M.K. Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University (NEFU).

Material and methods. The study involved 755 students of NEFU. at the age of 17–20, Mongoloid and Europeoid races, among which there were 273 (36.16%) girls and 482 (63.84%) boys. The studies were conducted on the basis of voluntary informed written consent. The survey included the determination of anthropometric parameters, assessment of the quality of life and questionnaires. Identification of the main characteristics of students' health was carried out through a medical examination.

Results. An analysis of morphological indicators revealed differences in the physical development of students of the Mongoloid and Europeoid races of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). In the analyzed groups, there were significant differences in body length depending on race. The highest indicators of body length are determined in persons of the Europeoid race, the smallest values - in students of the Mongoloid race. The study of quality of life indicators found a decrease in the psychological component of health among the respondents, due to the lack of readiness of the components of the professional and personal perspective and the inability to carry out psychological regulation of their behavior, which serves as an obstacle to their adaptation to independent living. At the same time, the indicators of the physical component of the health of the examined students remain, in most cases, within the normal range.

Conclusion. Analysis of the results of the study of the physical development of NEFU students indicates that representatives of the Mongoloid race living in the territory of Yakutia are characterized by growth below average, low density, and a small body surface area compared to representatives of the Europeoid race. The level of physical development in most of the examined persons is assessed as average, and in 37.2% of students the functional state of the circulatory system is characterized by tension in the mechanisms of adaptation, which may be due to the adaptation of the body to new living conditions.
