[Predictive value of variability of the laboratory indices in the development of premature aging].

Diagnostics of those or other pathological processes is connected with an estimation of deviations of corresponding laboratory indexes from their reference values. Results of the research enable to use the indexes of individual variability of laboratory tests as a criterion of individual resistance, which has a prognosis value in studying of age pathology. It also essentially expands ideas about activation of the peroxide oxidation of the lipids as the basic trigger factor of the accelerated aging.
