[Clinical and pathogenetic features of ischemic stroke among representatives of different gender and age].

We observed 1410 patients of different gender and age with ischemic stroke of 4 main clinical and pathogenic types - atherothrombotic, cardioembolic, hemodynamic and lacunar. The dependence of the pathogenic type of stroke, background options for stroke pathology and risk factors of stroke on sex and age of patients was analyzed. We founded out that atherothrombotic ischemic stroke is more common for persons of retirement age, and in working paeople - gap and hemodynamic once, although atherothrombotic strokes in this age group were more frequently observed among men.

[Age and gender aspects of the status of lipid profile and stress-realizing systems of the human body in the aging process].

In the course of inspection 1136 persons of different age and sex data on dynamics of the main components of lipid profile, the concentration of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in blood plasma and indicators of levels of free cortisol, melatonin sulfate, metanephrine and normetanephrine in urine daily were obtained. Clear age and gender differences related both to the content of atherogenic fractions of lipids in the blood, and types of dyslipidemia were revealed. Fundamental differences in the age dynamics of indicators of stress-realizing systems in men and women and the correlation of these indicators with the level of low density lipoproteins and atherogenic coefficient were identified.
