Distribution of biomarkers of aging in people with different personality types (in Russia)

Abstract

The aim of the research is to study how a person's belonging to a certain type of personality (phenotypic, professional, emotional, communicative) influences the rate of his individual aging. Method: we used the Russian frailty index according to Dr. Voitenko, which includes subjective and objective biomarkers of aging: duration of static balancing, blood pressure indicators, body weight, subjective assessment of diseases. Data processing method - one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Empirical base: 987 people (including 575 women) aged 35-70 years, collected from different regions of Russia on a territorial basis. Results: in the professional sphere, the lowest frailty index was found in representatives of the Artistic type and Investigative type of professions, and in terms of the duration of static balancing, the best result was in the Enterprising type. In terms of phenotypic characteristics, representatives of the asthenic and athletic body types had a lower frailty index, and in terms of functional asymmetry - in ambidexters and retrained left-handers. Among the emotional types, the lower frailty index was observed in persons with a predominance of communicative emotionality and those who preferred the style of cooperation when interacting with other people. Conclusions: lifestyle, attitude to the world and other people, as well as phenotypic characteristics of a person affect his biological age and the intensity of his biomarkers of aging.
