AGE ASPECTS OF ENDOCRINE STATUS IN MEN PERMANENT AND NEWLY ARRIVED RESIDENTS OF CITY OF ARKHANGELSK
There have been examined 335 apparently healthy men - permanent residents of Arkhangelsk and 113 newly arrived persons living in the given territory for more than 3 years. The men were divided into groups: teenagers (17-21 y.o.) and adults (22-35, 36-45, 46-60 y.o.) for the purpose of detection of peculiarities of age changes in hormones' levels in blood serum. A differential peculiarity of age changes in the Cortisol level in the newly arrived men was a tendency of the level's increase at the age 36-45. (in local men at the age 46-60.). The Cortisol level in the newly arrived men at the age 36-45 (650.00 nmole/l) was higher ttan in the local men (550.00 nmole/l, p = 0.019). The triiodothyronine age dynamics in the newly arrived men was similar to that in the local men the only difference being that in the groups of persons at the age 17-45, its fluctuation margin was significantly shifted to the upper normal level. The levels of thyroxin and thyrotrophin in the newly arrived northeners did not change significantly with the increase of years unlike the well-marked age dynamics in the local men. The levels of thyrotrophin in the newly arrived men at the age 22-35 were (2.25 mU/l) significantly higher compared to the local men (1.90 mU/l, p = 0.017).
