The role of gravity in the formation of human somatic and mental health

This report summarizes research in the field of one of the key problems of modern biology and medicine - the role of the gravitational factor in the formation of somatic and mental health during postnatal ontogenesis. Numerous studies indicate an increase in gravitational tension during human life, which correlates with the onset of such common diseases as coronary heart disease, arterial hypertension, peptic ulcer disease and some others. The connections of upright walking with the development of speech skills in postnatal ontogenesis have also been revealed, which confirms the progressive role of upright walking for humans as a biosocial being.
