Abstract

Introduction. In unstable world events, the problem of socio-psychological adaptation of the population is aggravated by a lack of magnesium in the body, which requires simplicity and accessibility of its diagnosis.

Purpose: to consider the components of socio-psychological adaptation of the adult population at various risks of magnesium deficiency based on Smart diagnostics of magnesium in the body.

Material and methods. Smart diagnostics of determining the body’s supply of magnesium in 110 people aged 18 to 70 years with the analysis of the level of components of socio-psychological adaptation and stress resistance. Two groups are selected. The Pearson χ2 and Mann–Whitney criteria were applied for statistical analysis, and the agreed standardized Haberman residuals were calculated.

Results. Magnesium deficiency was detected in all respondents, with 42.7% showing a marked deficiency, while 76% were aged 18–22 years. The proportion of overweight people with a low level of magnesium deficiency is significantly lower (15.9%) than in the group with a pronounced magnesium deficiency — 29.8%. A low level of stress tolerance prevailed in the groups with different risk levels of magnesium deficiency — 8 (5–10), Uz = 0.03, p = 0.98, and the components with a high median score in the group with a pronounced magnesium deficiency were: external control, inventory, and escapism, with pronounced maladaptive. In the control group, respondents had high adaptability, self-acceptance, emotional comfort, internal control, and low maladaptive.

Conclusions. The adaptive profile of respondents with severe magnesium deficiency is characterized by significantly reduced emotional comfort, internality, desire for dominance and adaptation. Diagnosing maladaptive event, it is advisable to recommend preventive magnesium intake. The availability and non-invasiveness of the questionnaire to identify the risk of severe magnesium deficiency, along with the significance of magnesium for the normal functioning of organs and internal systems, requires more extensive use of SMART diagnostics in preventive medicine (at preventive examinations, consultations of psychologists and psychotherapists), prevention departments and health centres.
