Stabilometric markers of biological age
By Montile AI, Davydov OD, Shalaumova YV
The aim of this study was to find stabilometric parameters, the values of which correlate with chronological age. The results of the standard stabilometric test with open and closed eyes, which obtained during the examination of 87 people aged from 20 to 70 years, were considered. Basic, vector and frequency indicators of 618 tests (334 with open eyes and 284 with closed eyes) were analyzed. The necessity of using different stabilometric parameters for determining the biological age for male and female is substantiated. The ratio of the average angular speed to the average linear speed of pressure center movement corresponds for men and the average angular speed is suitable for women. The models and regression equations that determine the statistically significant dependence of the parameters on age are revealed. These parameters can be used as markers that represent state of locomotor system in biological-age determination complex methods.
