It was found that the body's response to various stressful effects is largely determined by the ratio of the tone of the sympathetic and parasympathetic parts of the autonomic nervous system. It was revealed that in those days when a predominance of the parasympathetic nervous system tone was noted stressful effects caused more significant and negative changes in the body. The autonomic nervous system is also influenced by climatic factors. Materials and methods. 5305 males of different age were examined with the help of functional vegetative diagnostics according to the method of V. Makats. The bioelectric activity of 12 symmetric pairs of functionally active zones of the skin (24 FAZ), 12 on the hands and 12 on the feet, which reflect the functional activity of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems were studied. Results. In the study of systemic age dependence in all male observation groups the change of seasons of the year has been found to lead to changes in functional activity and homeostasis of the organism. The seasonal indicators of the activity of functional systems (FS) are clearly observed to duplicate the norm line, differing in amplitude and having the same orientation. Moreover, the presence of significant changes in the studied parameters of activity indicators of FS with the norm line indicates that all seasons of the year were characterized by differences. Conclusions. It has been established that the season change on the body leads to significant changes in functional activity and homeostasis of men of different age groups. The dependence of these indicators indicates a species evolutionary adaptation of a human to seasonal changes in climatic conditions.

THE IMPACT OF THE MOON PHASE ON THE BALANCE OF THE AUTONOMOUS NERVOUS SYSTEM AND THE FUNCTIONAL HEALTH OF MEN OF DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS O. V.

The autonomic nervous system is the main regulatory mechanism of a living organism that provides homeostasis. Objective: to investigate the effect of the Moon phases on the autonomic balance of the human body, the ratio of sympathetic nervous system activity to the parasympathetic nervous system and the functional health of the population. Materials and methods. 1592 males of different age were examined with the help of functional vegetative diagnostics according to the method of V. Makats. The bioelectric activity of 12 symmetric pairs of functionally active zones of the skin (24 FAZ), 12 on the hands and 12 on the feet, which reflect the functional activity of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems were studied. Results. In the male group aged 3-6 years old, the chaotic pattern of functional dependencies is related to the physiological and functional immaturity of the adaptation processes and the speed of their formation and stabilization in the body of children. In the male group of 12-15 years old in different phases of the Moon the changes in activity indicators of functional systems with much smaller amplitude are observed, though the nature and direction of changes in activity remain similar, which indicates the stabilization of adaptation mechanisms in the body. In the male group aged 21-50 years old maximum amplitude fluctuations in the functional activity of the systems and vegetative homeostasis are observed in the new Moon and the full one, which indicates a decrease in adaptation processes associated with age-related decrease in physiological and biochemical processes in the body and the appearance of the organism in the body. Conclusions. It has been established that the change of the Moon phases leads to significant changes in the functional activity and homeostasis of the body of men of different age groups. On-phase Moon activity indicators of functional systems duplicating the norm line have the same orientation, differing in amplitude, forming age-specific features of the tone of the autonomic nervous system.
