Age-related changes in the energy metabolism of males living in the North for a long time

The ecological and climatic environmental factors of the North-East of Russia place special demands on the optimal functioning of the physiological systems of the body of people living in these conditions for a long time. At the same time, the issue of age-related changes in the energy metabolism of the inhabitants of the North has not been studied widely enough. The aim of the study was to identify changes in the energy metabolism of Magadan men of various age groups - adolescents, young men, mature and older men by indirect calorimetry. The analysis made it possible to establish the dynamics of the age-related pattern of energy metabolism, characterized by intensification in adolescence while maintaining high values in adulthood and, especially, in old age, significantly exceeding the normative values. The identified regional features are aimed at maximizing the effective maintenance of homeostasis in individuals who are constantly exposed to the adverse abiotic factors of the North.
