Abstract
Hair samples and blood serum of 101 servicemen deployed in extreme conditions of the North were chemically analyzed to evaluate the elemental status. Here are the results of the research of 29 people of 25-40 years old constantly (5 or more years) serving in the North (3rd group), civilians living in the North (2nd group, n = 32) and people serving in the NorthWest region (1st group, n = 40). The obtained results show severe disturbance of element composition in this group represented in deficiency of essential and incorporation of toxic elements. The reasons for trace element status disorder can be the specific ecology of living area, occupational hazards, or the drinking water. The identified imbalance in micronutrients can alter metalloligand homeostasis in the body, thus eventually reducing functional reserves and causing various somatic pathologies, including osteoporosis.
