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.
The dynamics of the frequency of otorhinolaryngological pathology, one of the main causes of which is the deformation of the nasal septum, among the child population has a positive growth trend and, according to some authors, is from 56 to 95% of all cases of treatment. Congenital deformities or developmental anomalies leading to deviation of the nasal septum in children, with untimely diagnosis, can lead to chronic inflammatory processes in the mucous membrane of the cavity and paranasal sinuses, which in turn cause a violation of the airway function of the upper respiratory tract and an increase in the development of infectious diseases. Diagnosis of such conditions in children under the age of six will prevent their consequences, as well as reduce the need for their surgical treatment - septoplasty. The purpose of the study is to establish morphometric patterns of development of nasal septum structures, to identify patterns of its development and the minimum necessary anatomical criteria for predicting and determining deviation in young children. We used the results of head studies using multispiral computed tomography in the multiplanar mode in children aged 0 to 4 years, 16 girls and 32 boys, a total of 48 patients. The linear dimensions of the nasal septum were measured, including the length, maximum length and height, as well as the angle of deviation. According to the results of the analysis, statistically significant correlations were revealed between the age of children and the linear parameters of the nasal septum, a positive dynamic of the increase in the size of the nasal septum by the age of 3-4 years was observed. Simultaneously with the growth of linear dimensions, a decrease in the angle of deviation of the nasal septum is observed; no statistically significant sex differences were found. The discovered phenomena are due to the rapid growth of the cartilaginous part of the nasal septum by the third year of life. The data obtained demonstrate the possibilities of computed tomography for assessing deviations in the development of the nasal septum in young children for early prevention and elimination of rhinopathy.
