Abstract

Background: We aimed to evaluate the functional state of the population of the midlands and highlands of Alai region (Kyrgyzstan) on the basis of body mass index (BMI) and adaptation potential (AP). The characteristic of people with overweight and underweight are presented. A clean dependence of AP on BMI was revealed.

Methods: In Alai region (Kyrgyzstan), 285 citizens of Gulcha village (1.540 m above sea level) and 312 citizens of Sary-Tash village (3.200 m above sea level) were examined in July-August 2023. Blood pressure (BP) was generally measured at rest in the seated position. The BMI and AP were calculated.

Results: In the midlands and highlands BP correspond to the physiological norm. The AP scores in the midlands region for men was 2.32 points, for women - 2.38 points, but in highlands areas these values were slightly higher: for men – 2.52 points, for women – 2.42 points. The total BMI values for men in the midlands and highlands were 23.39 and 23.24 kg/m² respectively, for women in the midlands this indicator became higher than normal (26.53 kg/m²), but in the highlands it corresponded to the norm (24.78 kg/m²).

Conclusion: It is necessary to determine the value of AP,BMIandtype of self-regulation of blood circulationwhenassessing the functionalstate of residentslivinginmountain areas.In the highlands overweight,whichisoneof the significantriskfactors for healthdisorders,withtension ofregulatorymechanismscanbecome a trigger for the development of cardiovasculardiseases.
