Abstract
Intention. Improving medical and psychological support requires highly informative markers to assess and predict the state of the examined military men. Methodology. A total of 119 healthy male subjects of military age (18 to 26 years) were examined and divided into groups based on their blood pressure (BP) levels. Two-factor analysis of variance was used to assess effects of BP and/or disease attitude on the mental health. Results and Discussion. It is shown that blood pressure more significantly affects the level of neuro-psychological adaptation than the type of disease attitude. In a continuum “normal to high blood pressure”, the number of disharmonious types of disease,attitude increases and the level of mental health decreases. Type of disease attitude predicts the level of mental health. Disharmonious disease attitude may decrease mental health by one level compared with an adaptive type of disease attitude. Conclusion. The medico-psychological support of military men should include assessment of their physiological characteristics.
