[The indices of biological age and early aging in the liquidators of the consequences of radiation accidents].
The researches of biological age and rates of aging of liquidators of the sequels to radiation accidents were carried out. The biological age (BA) index can serve as a characteristic of social-hygienic factors influence on state of health of the officers and veterans of special risk subdivisions, liquidators of the sequels to radiation accidents. Chronic diseases exert influence on the biological age and proper biological age (PBA) index, increase mean value of BA-PBA index, bring contribution into acceleration of human organism aging. A direct connection between increase of functional class of the BA and duration of service in the Navy and ships was revealed. It was ascertained that radiation influence was a factor that increased the BA and rates of aging of liquidators of the sequels to radiation accidents.
