ABSTRACT
A brief overview of the main areas of research presented in the section "Ecology and human health" at the XV International Scientific Conference "Physics and Radioelectronics in Medicine and Ecology - PhREME'2022," held on June 28-30, 2022 in Suzdal', is presented.
ABSTRACT
Objective of the study was to establish gender-specific characteristics of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior in elderly people living in Yugra North. 295 residents of Surgut (102 men aged 62,9±5,3 years, 35%; 193 women aged 61,9±3,8 years, 65%) were subject to a IPAQ-RU questionnaire. The study revealed the gender-specific differences in body length and mass, body mass and body fat indices. It was detected that more energy is spent on the housework and physical activity in the country (moderate-intensity physical activity for women and high-intensity one for men). The study data showed no statistically significant gender-specific differences in general physical activity. Sedentary behavior is more popular among men rather than women (2543 vs 2441 min/week). 47% of low-active men and 56% of women reported the sitting times of 6-9 hours per day, 42% - 9-12 hours per day. Actions need to be taken to increase physical activity which is low at the moment and decrease sedentary behavior which is currently on the high level.

The Tomsk Region belongs to the areas of Siberia and the Far East which show a higher risk for hemoblastoses in the population. Chronic leukemia are prevalent in the structure of oncohematologic morbidity in the Tomsk Region as compared with other areas of Siberia and the Far East. There is a relationship of technogenic environmental pollution to the incidence of some nosological entities of hemoblastoses in the Region. Measures for environmental improvement are gaining in significant importance in the cancer-combating system.
