An integrated study of adaptive features of adult women residing in a northern city

The authors evaluated the quality of life using SF-36 questionnaire. The analysis showed rather negative physiological and somatic values in all groups, including meteotropic women and returnees, in particular. Women of the senior group had the largest number of risk factors (17 out of 21), most important of which included cold weather, temperature and air pressure variations, solar magnetic perturbations, dyspnea, smoking, fatigue and excess body weight.
