Age Morphological

Morphological age: what is it and how to measure it? Description of the problem Morphological age (or V. Somatic) is a concept that refers to the biological maturity of an organism. This concept describes the body's ability to function at full capacity in accordance with its physiological and genetic characteristics. Morphological age can be measured through various tests and methods, and is an important factor in assessing the health and well-being of individuals.

What is morphological age and where does it come from? The basics of morphological age appeared in the 1920s thanks to two natives of Chicago, USA: Russian pediatrician Ivan Karavkov and Swedish physiologist Karl Franzen. A study they conducted at the University of Chicago revealed a connection between morphological parameters and the maturity of the organism. Thus, they found a relationship between the age of somatometry (body length and volume in ml) and the age of the musculoskeletal system. After this, a broad study of the morphology and biological characteristics of age groups in various animals and people began, as a result of which a number of theories of the development of age-related variability in the organism were created.

With the aging of the body and the development of various diseases, such an indicator as morphological age may change, thereby reflecting progressive maladaptation or even the premorbid state of the patient.

The importance of the morphological measurement astrological calendar Physiological age is a specific physical and mathematical quantity that is measured not in years, but in binary units. Its unit of measurement is the time of maturation of certain systems and organs after the birth of a person. This parameter determines not only a person’s age, but also his level of biological readiness to reproduce a new generation. It helps to navigate issues related to the child’s puberty. Depending on when the child’s body passes certain reference stages of maturation, the ratio of masculine and feminine principles is determined. All data on morphological age are entered into the fetal development chart.

Morphological age tests help doctors and other specialists in medically diagnosing the aging process and predicting the risk of various health problems. The results of morphological tests become especially important in determining pathologies. For example, in biology the so-called Troshin rule is known. According to him, an adult person, according to the characteristics of the morphological body, should be the same as he was at the time he reached the stage of puberty. If this rule is violated, it indicates a deviation from the norm. Oddly enough, it is the rule
