The epidemiological aspects of the mineral status disorders in teenagers
The aim of the study was epidemiology of mineral misbalance in teenagers. Inhabitants of the modern industrial centre are surveyed. We have examined healthy natives of Vladivostok at the age from 11 to 16 years. The method of atom absorption spectrometry showed the contents of microelements in organism. They were Pb, Cd, Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn, Fe, Ca, and Mg. The prevalence of overabundance and deficiency of mineral substances is determined. With application of step-by-step discrimination analysis the factors of risk of element homeostasis disorder are investigated and the algorithm of the element status changes prognosis is being developed.
