EFFECTS OF RISK FACTORS ON PANCREATITIS DEVELOPMENT AND PREVENTIVE ROLE OF PHYSICAL TRAINING
Aim. To study the impact of risk factors on development of pancreatitis in comparison with other diseases of the hepatopancreatoduodenal area and to evaluate the effectiveness of physical training as a preventive approach. Material and methods. The study involved 488 people who were treated for diseases of hepatopancreatoduodenal area. Results. The following factors significantly (p < 0.001) determining the direction of pathogenesis along the path of pancreatitis or other diseases should be considered most important: patient's dietary intervention and alcohol consumption by patient’s family members (r<sub>Q</sub> = 0.39-0.42 and 0.28-0.67, respectively), as well as gender (r<sub>Q</sub> = 0.40-0.51, p < 0.001) and employment (r<sub>Q</sub> = 0.24-0.26, p < 0.05). The strongest correlations between quantitative risk factors and the formation of pancreatitis in contrast to cholecystitis were observed for age (|r<sub>bs</sub>| = 0.23, p < 0.001), alcohol abuse (|r<sub>bs</sub>| = 0.17, p < 0.001), age at starting smoking (|r<sub>bs</sub>| = 0.29, p < 0.001), and diet costs (|r<sub>bs</sub>| = 0.21, p < 0.001). Regression analysis revealed a special preventive effect of ‘sports expenses’ factor rate on the development of bad habits. The optimal level of such costs is 7-10 %. Conclusion. The obtained results can be used to develop the personalized strategy for prevention of pancreatitis and allow recommending to patients to maintain the level of expenses on physical training at the level of 7-10 % of their income.
