Abstract
Four hundred and fifty-two male residents of Magadan Region were examined to study ontogenetic features in their thermal imaging pictures. Based on the subjective age which ranged 15-74, four groups were formed: adolescents, young men, mature men, and elderly men. The indicators of thermography, hemodynamics, gas exchange and energy metabolism were analyzed We could see the temperatures in both individual zones of the body and weighted averages through all analyzed spots drop in increasing reliance on age. The daily energy consumption at rest, oxygen consumption per kg of the body weight, as well as the oxygen utilization factor were also maximal in the group of young men and minimal in older men. The average group indices of peripheral vascular resistance increasingly varied from adolescents to the elderly, while the cardiac output values dropped in more than half within the same age range.
