The article studies and analyzes the scientific works of leading specialists in hygiene of children and adolescents on search electronic databases (Web of Science, PubMed, eLIBRARY and Research Gate) according to the keywords: Physical development, Teenagers, Educational institutions, Intra-school environment. Of the 277 sources found, the authors selected 115, taking into account the keywords, after an analysis of the selected literature, 49 sources were included in the present study in accordance with the topic of the work. It has been established that social, biological and environmental factors have the most effective influence on physical development. It has been determined that the school environment plays a large role in the formation of the physical status where the child spends most of his day. There are contradictory information about the influence of various forms of education on the state of health: in educational institutions of an innovative type of healthy children, there were 2.3 %, in ordinary schools — 10.1 %. However, according to other authors, higher anthropometric indicators were characteristic of students of educational institutions of the new type.

Background: At present, diagnostics of premorbid conditions in medical college students is of particular importance owing to the extensive use of modern educational equipment, technologies and materials. Objective: To assess the functional status of first to third-year medical college students majoring in orthopedic dentistry. Materials and methods: In April–May 2023, we conducted a cross-sectional study of 182 male students of the medical college at the Volgograd State Medical University, all majoring in orthopedic dentistry. The subjects were divided into three observation cohorts consisting of 66 first-year college students (mean age: 18.29 ± 0.11 years), 60 second-year students (19.84 ± 0.20 years), and 56 third-year students (20.66 ± 0.24 years). We established their heart rate variability and analyzed integrative indicators of functioning of the regulatory systems with a focus on adaptive capacities according to the method by R.M. Baevsky. The functional state of the central nervous system of the students was assessed using variational chronoreflexometry. Results: We observed balanced heart rate regulation (type 1) in most subjects (73 %). At the same time, by the final year of study the number of students with excessive sympathicotonic reaction was found to increase. Some young men showed an increase in the activity of regulatory systems above normal values. Suboptimal activity of the autonomic nervous system can reduce its efficiency and induce rapid CNS fatigue, which was confirmed by the results of variational chronoreflexometry. Discussion: We revealed a slight tension of regulatory systems having no adverse health effects in the male students. Yet, excessive sympathicotonic reaction noted in the third-year students indicated predisposition to disruption of mechanisms of adaptive capacity in some young men. Optimization of schoolwork pressure is one of the measures of preventing further negative changes in the functional status of student youth. The assessed score of schooling intensity of future dental technicians was 3.1. Conclusions: Our findings show that the study load causes increasing tension of the regulatory systems of the body. They justify the importance of improving the curriculum and developing a set of targeted measures for an increase in functional reserves of medical college students majoring in orthopedic dentistry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
