Abstract
One of the approaches to the integrative assessment of the functional state of the body is the determination of biological age, which is a combination of metabolic, structural, functional, regulatory features and adaptive capabilities of the body and, in essence, is an indicator of the health status of the body [2].
An in-depth method for determining biological age exists, which is a typical linear regression model of biological age and includes the following set of 13 indicators: systolic, diastolic, and pulse arterial pressure, pulse wave velocity in elastic and muscular vessels, vital capacity, breath-holding time on inhalation and exhalation, lens accommodation, hearing threshold, static balancing on one leg, body weight, self-assessment of health, and the Wechsler symbolic-numeric test [1].
This method has found wide application in clinical gerontology, which makes it promising, but at the same time, the possibility of its application in young people remains poorly understood.
