Sažetak
Aim: The aim of the study was to analyze the possibility of the diagnostic use of saliva investigation
in relation to medical conditions among medical students, and provide a background of non-invasive
physiological-based preventive measures for their health outcomes.
Methods: The study was conducted among 70 students from Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical
University (Ukraine), who were asked for general information and interviewed about the subjects of
lifestyle risk factors related to physical inactivity, circadian rhythmicity, the use of technical gadgets,
and the presence of functional gastrointestinal disorders. Their saliva secretion and
microcrystallization were evaluated. For detection of the microcrystallines of non-organic origin in
saliva, X-Ray diffractional powder analysis was used.
Results: The results of the study indicated that 70% of students have decreased daily skeletal muscle
contractile duration, circadian dysfunction and extended time of using gadgets all of which leads to
changes in saliva secretion and the microcrystallization of biogeneous substances. About 30% of
participants have signs of functional disorders of the upper gastrointestinal tract.
Conclusion: An integrative view on saliva microcrystalline changes could be a novel diagnostic tool
for detection of early health disorders, and maintaining regular skeletal muscle contractile activity
and normal circadian rhythmicity is a promising physiological approach to improve health outcomes
in young people.
