title: [EFFECT OF CIRCADIAN RHYTHM OF CORTISOL SECRETION ON INDICATORS OF BIOLOGICAL AGE OF COMBAT VETERANS].
abstract: The article presents the correlation analysis of indicators of biological age and circadian rhythm of cortisol secretion, the level of mental adaptation and quality of life of combat veterans. A strong correlation between the level of mental adaptation and quality of life of the contingent in consideration was revealed. The results of the correlation analysis show that the main predictor determining the rate of aging of war veterans is the difference between morning and evening secretion of cortisol in the blood, while for patients who were not taking part in the fighting, the leading factors of accelerated aging can be called the quality of life and the concentration of cortisol in plasma in the evening.
