Factorial determinism of life quality factors in young population

Abstract

We investigated the intestinal circadian rhythm and the life quality among 157 young people from 17 to 23 years old. Factor analyses of 23 variables, which reflect the quality of human life, helps identify 8 components bringing the groups of indicators together. Designing a matrix of factor loadings was performed by using the main components method and rotation method: Varimax with Kaiser normalization. The morning acrophase is a component which integrates time of defecation, bedtime, taking the maximum quantity of food and maximum working efficiency. The circadian rhythm of the intestine is associated with the rhythms of eating, sleeping and mental and physical activity. The morning acrophase plays a significant role in shaping the optimal sleep and activity periods. The identification of circadian rhythm disorders at young age allows to detect the risk for gastrointestinal diseases and to carry out primary preventive measures. Early diagnosis increases the percentage of complete recovery and improves the life quality in future.
