Information on the thesis

The thesis is devoted to studying the impact of body weight factor for adaptation of
students  in  the  first  year  of  study,  which  revealed  features  of  adaptive  reactions
investigated contingent.
Established that the adaptation processes of students with excessive and insufficient
weight  on  other  than  the  students  with  normal  body  mass  characterized  by  growing
tensions  compensatory-adaptive  mechanisms,  indicating  significantly  higher
“physiological cost” of adaptation throughout the school year. Shown that adaptation to
learning  in  subjects  studied  groups  accompanied  by  a  growth  rate  of  information
processing.  In  female  students  with  normal  body  weight  revealed  consistency  of  the
cardiovascular and central nervous system in the implementation of simple sensorimotor
reaction: parasympathetic activity of autonomic nervous system activation correlated with
those of the central nervous system. At the same time, students with excessive weight and
lack of such consistency needed implementation reaction of choice. The rate of students in
the  task overweight correlated  with  the  activity  of the  parasympathetic nervous system,
and the students underweight – with the activity of the sympathetic division.
Identified  the  pathological  state  of  obesity  changes  muscle  connective  tissue
framework and elements in the wall of the small intestine and changing range of white
blood cells in the lamina propria mucosa showed the presence of inflammatory reaction in
the small intestine. Inflammation of the small intestine, combined with emotional stress in
people  who  are overweight  will  contribute  to  even  more  weight gain. That  in turn  will
further  strengthen  all  of  the  above  adverse  changes  in  the  Cardiovascular  System.  This
creates an additional risk factor for young people, particularly first-year students.
