INFLUENCE OF PLACE OF BIRTH AND GENDER ON THE HEALTH COMPONENT OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF STUDENTS

Annotation.. Purpose: to analyze indicators of physical and mental health components in quality of life of students according to gender and place of birth. Material: the study involved 513 students aged 17 22 years old. Depending on the place of birth of the students were grouped into 5 groups: residents of large cities, small cities, towns, and villages; sat. Results: the highest rate of physical activity in girls (91.75 points) and men (94.9 points) of the major cities. The lowest rates are indicator role activities (47.86 points) girls from small towns, vitality index (57.25 points) in men hail from towns. The correlation coefficients between the indicators of quality of life of students: high rates of mental health component in comparison with the physical component. Conclusions: it was found that students regardless of sex, physical health component above the psychological component. Gender difference between physical health component is greater among residents of the town. In terms of mental health component of the residents of small towns.

quantity of girls were from towns and settlements (39 and 38 accordingly) and the least group was composed from girls, born in small towns-23 persons (7.5%).

The questioned boys were mainly born in village (43%), quarter of the questioned (51 persons) -in cities, nearly15% -in towns, 9.5% of students -in small towns and only 8% -in settlement.Thus, distribution in percentage of both sexes' students, depending on birthplace, is practically equal.See graphs in fig. 2. Т Fig. 2. Distribution of students by sex and birthplace, %.
Results of questioning witnessed that the highest students' indicator was indicator of physical functioning (PF), though those, who were born in small town had this indicator the least (80.0 points) comparing with the born in village (90.45), settlement (90.52), town (89.1) or city (91.75).The second place for girls students of all tested groups is taken by indicators of social functioning (SF), which, alongside with indicator of physical functioning, is the least in girl students from small towns (69.56), and the highest in those, who were born in cities (78.37) (see table 1).
Indicators of role functioning, conditioned by physical state (RP) is the highest among girl students from cities (76.01), the second place is taken by girl students from towns (70.51), the third and forth places are taken by girls from settlements and villages (69.07 and 62.12) and the last place -by born in small towns (51.08).Indicator of intensity of pain (ВР) is the most expressed in girl students from cities (74.62) and settlements (72.47), in born in small towns (66.0) and in villages (67.03) these indicators are practically equal and the lowest is in girls students from towns (60.92).General health condition, indicator of which is indicator GH, is the lowest in girl students from towns (62,05); the rest have practically equal indicators.
Girl students' vitality -indicator VT -is practically equally high in girl students from cities (61.14) and settlements (61.31), the lowest is in born in villages (56.96); in the rest students this indicator at middle level.Indicator of role functioning, conditioned by emotional state -RE -being at the same level as VT, is also on the first place for girl students from cities (60.36).The second by value indicator RE is in girl students from villages (57.82), the third and the forth place s are taken by girl students from small towns (53.62) and settlements (51.75) and the fifth place belongs to girl students, born in towns (47.86).
Girl students' indicator of mental health (MH) is practically equal for born in cities (66.0) and villages (64.75) and a little lower for girl students from settlements (62.73), small towns (62.78), towns (62.35).These data are shown in fig. 3.

Fig. 3. Components of girl students' life quality depending on birthplace, points.
For boy students the highest, more than 90 points, was indicator of physical functioning (PF) in all tested groups.Indicator of social functioning (SF), was the highest in born in villages (82.77), the second place is taken by students from small towns (80.0).Students from settlement, towns and cities have practically equal indicator of social functioning (78).
Comparing with indicator of girl students, indicator of role functioning, conditioned by emotional state of students (RE), born in small towns is rather high (80.0),lower values belonged to students from village (72.22) and settlements (70.83), the lowest belong to students from towns (60.0) and cities (62.09).
Role activity, conditioned by physical state (RP) was the highest in students from cities (73.03), a little bit lower for students, born in villages (71.38); the rest have practically equal values (65-68).Indicator ВР, with reflects intensity of pain, is the highest (80.43) in respondents -boys from settlement; the second place is taken by students from cities -ВР= 74.01, the third place was shared by students from village (72.01) and settlement (71.0) and the lowest indicator ВР=68.86 belonged to students from towns.
General health (GH) is on equal level in students from cities and towns (75) and students from villages 72.7) and settlements (71.37); the lowest indicator (69.35) belonged to students, born in small towns.MH -indicator of mental health of students, born in villages (71.95) and in towns (72.26) is on the same level; for students, born in settlements, small towns and cities indicator MH is at the lowest level but practically equal (67-66).Indicator of vitality (VT) is one of factors, which reflects students' self-evaluation of own forces, energy or weakness.The highest indicator belongs to students from villages (68.22), the lowest -to students from small towns (57.25), indicator of the rest is on middle level.It should be noted that this indicator is one of the lowest from all tested indicators in all tested groups.It is a motivation and basis for more detail studying of just this component of health, to seeking of ways of its correction for improvement of rising generation's health in particular and their life quality in general.In fig. 4 we present components of students' life quality, depending on their birthplaces.

Fig. 4. Components of boy students' life quality depending on birthplace, points.
Generalizing th received data by recommended methodic we obtained two the most important components of life quality: physical component (Рhysical component summary -PCS) and mental component (Mental component summary -MCS).In all tested groups physical component prevails comparing with mental one that is an evidence of higher students' self-evaluation of physical health instead of mental.
Concerning gender analysis, girl students, independent on birthplace have lower indicators of physical and mental components in comparison with boy students.
Among girl students the highest indicator of health's physical component (PCS) belongs to born in city (52.63) and village (52.23), the second place is taken by girl students from towns and villages (49) and the lowest indicator belong to those, who were born in small towns (47.25).
Among boy students indicators of health's physical component (PCS), distributed practically in the same way as among girls.So, the highest indicator belonged to students from cities (53.4), the second place was taken by students from settlements (52.93), a little bit lower -by students from villages (51.34) and towns (51.05) and the lowest indicator belonged to students from small towns (50.87).The data of physical components of students' life quality (both sexes) are given in fig. 5. Concerning mental component of girl students' life quality (MCS), the highest belong to those, who were born in cities (43.76), a little bit lower -to girl students from village (43.11), still lower -to girl students from small towns (42,77) and the lowest -to girl students from settlements (41.95) and towns (41.02).

Boy students have higher indicators of health's mental component (MCS), in comparison with girl students.For example, the highest indicators of students from village were 48.26; at the second place were students from towns (46.16), at the third place -students from settlements (45.35) and at the last places -students from cities (44.42) and small towns (44.).The data are given in fig.6.

Digital values of health's physical and mental components are given in table 2. We have analyzed correlation connections between indicators, which form physical and mental components of health in students' life quality.When interpreting strength of correlation connections we used Cheddock's table.For example it is accepted to note weak correlation (WC) (r=0.10-0.29),moderate correlation (MC) (r=0.30-0.49),significant (SC) -(r=0.50-0.69),strong correlation (SC) -(r=0.70-0.89),very strong correlation (VSC) (r=0.90-0.99).Besides, correlation can be positive and negative.As it is known, negative correlation -is a feedback between values -increasing of one value is connected with reduction of other (negative correlation coefficient).Positive correlation -direct connection -means that increasing of one value is connected with increasing of other (positive correlation coefficient).
Concerning correlation influence of indicators on formation of health's physical component, in the process of analysis we noticed different direct connections.Moderate connection is present in students of all groups by GH indicator (general health), except students from village, where strength of connection is significant (r=0.6).Significant correlation was also determined by all other indicators in students, born in villages.As far as other groups concern then moderate correlation between indicator РF of born in cities and towns, villages (r=0.5), between indicator RP of students from small towns (r=0.6) were determined.The rest of indicators show strong correlations (see table 3).In influence on formation of health's mental component all indicators are strong, except indicators of mental health (МН) of students, born in towns and small towns (r=0.9).

Conclusions:
Researching students' life quality by SF-36 methodic we found out, that girl students from small towns had the lowest indicator of physical functioning (PF) (80.0), while girl students from cities had the highest indicator (91.75).Concerning boy students the lowest PH indicator belonged also to born in small towns (90.5), though the rest of students had this indicator high and nearly at the same level (93-95).
Health's physical component is higher than mental both in boy students' and in girl-students' groups.Gender difference between health's physical component was the highest in students, born in small towns (boys' PCS=50.87;girls' PCS= 47.25); concerning indicators of health's mental component: boys' MCS=46.16(born in towns); girls' у MCS=41.02(also born in towns).
Correlations between indicators, which form health's physical and mental components in students' life quality are higher and, accordingly, they influence stronger on formation of health's mental component.
In the future we intend to research other components, which influence oh youth's quality of life.
