Popis: Some functions of the human body and human health are characterized by their change over the seasons. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays a leading role in adaptation processes. The capacity of the body’s adaptation reserves, efficiency and choice of adaptation strategy, adequate physiological support and maintenance of homeostasis depend on the state of the ANS. With the help of Functional-vegetative diagnostics according to the method of V. Makats, which is officially approved by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, we examined 3439 women of different ages who underwent sanatorium treatment in Ukraine. The bioelectrical activity of 12 symmetrical pairs of functionally active zones of the skin (24 PHASES), 12 on the arms and 12 on the legs, which reflect the functional activity of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, was studied. It has been shown that the change of seasons leads to changes in functional activity and homeostasis of the organism. In seasonal indicators of the functional systems activity duplicate the line of the norm, differing in amplitude and having the same direction. The study of functional health showed that this indicator is most stable in the group of girls aged 12–15 years old, regardless of the season. In the group of girls aged 3-6 years old, the largest amplitude of fluctuations in functional health is 35.3–77.7%. In the group of adult women, a reduced ability to adapt was found, which was manifested in all seasons of the year and is evidenced by a reduced number of people in the area of functional balance and a significant increase in the area of parasympathetic activity. Despite the unequal nature of changes in the activity of functional systems under the influence of different seasons of the year on female groups of different ages, increased activity of functional systems is compensated by the suppression of other ones and autonomic coefficient remains within normal 0.95–1.05. In a healthy body, changes in physiological processes and functional activity of systems under the influence of such a factor as the change of seasons are easily compensated. A special role belongs to the autonomic nervous system, the activity of which provides an adequate response of the organism to the influence of environmental factors, which indicates the species evolutionary adaptation of man to seasonal changes in climatic conditions.
