Introduction

There are many medical consequences obtained twenty seven years before accident on Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. This is more important problem for Ukraine and people of the world. The studies of Ukrainian scientists showed the decrease of cardiovascular disease of people who live in Chernobyl region (more then 30 km around) after accident [1, 2, 3, 4]. Apart from, the long stay in ecological disaster region is resulted is evolution of the psycho-emotional disorders and psychosomatic pathologies [5, 6, 7, 8].

The use of pharmacological rehabilitation may accompany with "drug's disease". Still the lifestyle change intervention with diet, aerobic exercise and stress management as prevention rehabilitation methods was more effective.

The aim of the study: approbation of the prevention programs of physical rehabilitation for Chernobyl disaster survivors in lifestyle aspects.

Methods

Sixty persons, disaster survivors and workers of Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant aged 32-60 have rehabilitation during 21 days.

The complex of physical rehabilitation programs as lifestyle change intervention included:

  • low-fat diet with finishing of smoking and alcohol using: vegetable low-meet foods;
  • physical aerobic exercises use complex of physical rehabilitation;
  • stress management includes psychotherapy and training course of psycho-emotional rehabilitation.

The rules for complex of physical rehabilitation for Chernobyl disaster survivors:

1. The training lessons of physical rehabilitation must be held on the sporting hall or open ground.

2. The training lessons of physical rehabilitation must be held among patients of II or III Chernobyl disaster categories.

3. The training lessons of physical rehabilitation must include morning exercises and healthy exercises.

4. The morning exercises must be hold 10 minutes after awakening and 30 minutes before breakfast. Duration of morning exercises - 20-30 minutes.

5. The healthy exercises must be hold 1-2 an hour before and 2 an hour after meal, in the second part of the day. Duration of healthy exercises - 1 an hour.

The study of the effect of preventive program for Chernobyl disaster survivors. The functional age and tempo of aging as criterion of health status were studied.

The tempo of aging (TA) was determined [9]:

ТA = (BPSr/BPSt + BPDr/BPDt + HRr/ HRt + HRw r/ HRw t +

+ VCt/VCr + HBIt/HBIr + HBEt/HBEr + SBt/SBr) / n, (1)

were: ТA - tempo of aging (secret unit); BPS - blood pressure systolic (mm ); BPD - blood pressure diastolic (mm ); VC - vital capacity of the lungs (l); HBI - hold the breath in inhale (s); HBE - hold the breath in exhale (s); SB - static balance (s); HR - heart rate in rest (min-1); HRw - heart rate after 20 squats (min-1); r - real estimation of parameter; t - table estimation of parameter; n - number of parameters.

Functional age was determined:

FA = ТA * КA, (2)

were: KA - calendar age (years).

The average parameters, which include formula (1), are presented in the tab.1 (for women) and tab.2 (for men). These meanings were the results of the analysis of investigations in aging researches areas and our investigations.

Psycho-emotional status of patients was studied by subjective estimation of self-sense, activity and mood, before and after one rehabilitation course.

Results and discussion

The average parameters of functional age and tempo of aging in patients before and after preventive course are presented in tab.3.

The results showed the increasing of the functional age (71,7+5,62) for comparative of calendar age (48,81+1,91) before the prevention course. This is associated with the acceleration type of aging and decline of health in Chernobyl disaster survivors.

The average parameters, which include formula of determination of tempo of aging before and after preventive course of Chernobyl disaster survivors, are presented in tab.4.

The analysis of this data shows the increase of arterial blood pressure for concerning health norm. This fact demonstrates the significant role of heart health for people who Chernobyl disaster survivors.

At the same time, the decrease of static balance for concerning average population meanings may be related with internal brain vascular disturbance.

The decline of respiratory functions displays the decrease of hold the breath in inhales and exhales parameters.

The tempo of aging structure before preventive course was studied for multiple correlation between functional age and parameters, which include formula of determination of tempo of aging (tab. 5).

According to correlation analysis the functional age in Chernobyl disaster survivors before preventive course was the determination of heart parameters and static balance parameters.

After preventive course program, the average parameters of functional age in Chernobyl disaster survivors decrease. This demonstrates the improving of general health status in Chernobyl disaster survivors (tab. 3). But, the tempo of aging after preventive course remains accelerating (tab. 3).

The decrease of arterial blood pressure, heart rate in rest and after physical load, increase of vital capacity of lungs and static balance showed the improvement of health promotion in Chernobyl disaster survivors during the preventive course (tab.4).

The results of multiple correlation analysis between functional age and parameters, which include formula of determination of tempo of aging in Chernobyl disaster survivors after preventive course, are presented in tab. 6.

As it is seen on tab. 6, the general structure of aging in Chernobyl disaster survivors after preventive course does not change. But, there are changes of internal structure of aging among studied parameters.

According to this data the main factor, which determined of aging structure in Chernobyl disaster survivors after preventive course is arterial blood pressure.

Thus, one of the ways for possibility of the health improving in Chernobyl disaster survivors is related with the regulation of arterial blood pressure.

The average parameters of psycho-emotional status of patients before and after preventive course are presented in tab. 7.

According to data from tab. 7 the subjective estimation of self-sense, activity and mood in Chernobyl disaster survivors improve during preventive course. This fact indicated the promotion of psychological health of Chernobyl disaster survivors during lifestyle change intervention.

The relations between psychological and physical health were studied. The correlation analysis between psycho-emotional status parameters and arterial blood pressure as criterion of physical health are presented on tab. 8.

According to this analysis close correlation is showed between arterial blood pressure and mood. At the same time the correlation between arterial blood pressure and parameters of psycho-emotional status before preventive course is closer for concerning after preventive course. This demonstrates the decrease of psycho-physiological tension of regulatory systems of human organism during preventive course of Chernobyl disaster survivors [10].

This corresponds with correlation analysis data between mood and functional age: before preventive course correlation coefficient makes up r = - 0,33 (p < 0,06).

Thus, the improving of physical health after preventive course influence the promotion of the psychological health of Chernobyl disaster survivors.

Conclusion

The studies show that the preventive programs for Chernobyl disaster survivors in lifestyle aspects had the high effect.

This displays the decrease of tempo of aging and the improving of physical and psychological health status of Chernobyl disaster survivors during preventive course.

However, the solution of problem of health promotion must have Government and International support of lifestyle changes preventive programs, especially for people who survivors Chernobyl accident.
