[The role of fatty acids, water-soluble vitamins, calcium, phosphorus in maintaining carbohydrate metabolism in youth population of two different climatic geographic regions].

The sampling of youth population aged 16-21 years was examined in the northern (the Arkhangelskaia oblast) and the southern (the Southern Osetia) regions. The indicators of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, provision of organism with calcium, phosphorus, thiamine, riboflavin were established. In the southern region decreasing of level of glucose, calcium and increasing of lactate, pyruvate, fatty acids were detected under decreased provision of organism with thiamine. The application of correlation analysis confirmed dependence of parameters of carbohydrate metabolism in individuals of the northern region from level of calcium and thiamine and in examined in both regions from riboflavin. At that, in the northern region fatty acids contributed maximally into alteration of level of glucose, pyruvate and values of ratio lactate/pyruvate. In the southern region saturated and polyunsaturated acids impacted on decreasing of activity of anaerobic processes.
