Pacific State Medical University pioneers preventive health study in Russia's Far East

Pacific State Medical University is leading a major study on human health through its Institute of Preventive Medicine. The research forms part of the Priority 2030 program, aiming to enhance quality of life via preventive medicine in the Russian Far East. The study uses advanced diagnostic tools to assess health risks early. Bioimpedance analysis measures muscle, fat, and water levels in the body without invasive procedures. Ultrasound densitometry checks bone mineral density, particularly for postmenopausal women, men over 50, and those prone to osteoporosis.

Residents of Primorsky Krai can access these services at the Healthy Nutrition Clinic. The program also includes personalised diagnostics to identify risks for chronic diseases. Doctors recommend tailoring diets to individual needs, as no single plan suits everyone.

Seasonal advice encourages higher intake of fresh fruits, berries, and vegetables during summer. Monthly recommendations help optimise nutrition based on changing needs. The university aims to become a leading centre for healthy nutrition and preventive medicine in the region. The study provides residents with access to modern diagnostics and personalised health guidance. These efforts support early detection and management of chronic conditions.
