Department of Study of Aging Processes and Prevention of Metabolic-Associated Diseases of the GI "L.T.Mala NIT NAMSU" was created on January 24, 2019 under the leadership of Prof. Olena Kolesnikova in order to develop a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach to age-associated diseases and methods of their prevention for a significant extension of the period of healthy human life.
MAIN SCIENTIFIC DIRECTIONS
Creating a concept on the impact of factors of premature aging in the formation of different phenotypes of metabolic-associated diseases and establish their significance in the prognosis and prevention.
Determination of genetic determinants of risk factors for premature aging in mechanisms of development of metabolic-associated diseases.
Study of the influence of epigenetic factors, environmental factors, dietary and behavioral patterns on human epigenotype and the speed of age-related processes.
Development of a complex interdisciplinary approach to age-associated diseases and methods of their prevention with practical application of scientific results for a significant extension of the period of healthy human life.
TASKS AND FUNCTIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT
Development of an algorithm for determining markers of premature aging in various age groups depending on lifestyle, social status, presence of a family history of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, overweight (obesity) and their epigenetic modification.
Determination of the influence of genetic factors, epigenetic status and the state of antioxidant protection on risk factors and mechanisms of development of metabolically associated diseases.
Assessment of epigenetic age and its prognostic value for the development of metabolically associated diseases in people of different age groups.
Study of the course, diagnosis and treatment of metabolically associated diseases in patients of different age groups. Study of the features of the use of drugs in elderly patients.
Development of new research methods to determine the risk of developing age-dependent pathologies, taking into account the genetic status, diet, physical activity and lifestyle.
Development of preventive programs for patients of different age groups in order to create optimal diet and exercise to prolong the period of active longevity.
Development and implementation of personalized algorithms for the primary prevention of metabolic-associated diseases, depending on age, taking into account molecular genetic analysis.
Creation of a register of patients of different age groups with signs of metabolically associated diseases, including for molecular genetic studies.
Publication of research results in the form of scientific papers, monographs, articles, preparation of methodological documents for conducting a comprehensive geriatric assessment in order to predict the risk of developing age-associated diseases, developing individual prevention programs to improve the prognosis of elderly patients.
Study of domestic and world experience, achievements of medical science and healthcare practice to reduce the risk of developing metabolic-associated diseases in various age groups. Cooperation of scientific cooperation with European and world societies that are involved in the study of aging processes, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of age-associated diseases.
Staff members of the department are regular participants in international, all-Ukrainian congresses, symposia and scientific and practical conferences on cardiology, gastroenterology, preventive medicine, gerontology.
