[Assessment of actual nutrition and immunological responsiveness in female students].
Questionnaire survey of 127 female medical students from a study group indicated that the dietary levels of proteins, particularly animal ones, as well as fats, carbohydrates, vitamins (C, B1, B2, and B6), and trace elements (potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, copper, and manganese) was much lower in spring than in autumn and they did not correspond to the recommended physiological requirements for these nutrients. Examining the immunological responsiveness in the female students revealed seasonal variations of some cellular and humoral immunological parameters. The reduction in the level of T lymphocytes of serum immunoglobulins (mainly immunoglobulins G) and in the number of circulating immune complexes in spring as compared with autumn was associated with the significant increase of the relative and absolute counts of B lymphocytes.
