ABSTRACT. Arterial
hypertension (AH) is a severe pathology, the etiology has various
prerequisites, and the exact causes have not been established. The aim of the
study is to identify the relationship of geochemical factors (the content of
magnesium, potassium, calcium, zinc, lead in soils and natural waters of the
territory of the plain zone) with the prevalence of hypertension in the child
population. The content of elements (magnesium, potassium, calcium, zinc, lead)
was determined on the basis of the Laboratory of Biogeochemistry of the Caspian
Institute of Biological Resources of the Dagestan Scientific Center of the
Russian Academy of Sciences by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The prevalence
rates of AH in the children's population of the lowland zone of Dagestan are
calculated for 100,000 children (0-17 years old). The
dependence of the pathology of hypertension of the children's population on the
content of magnesium, potassium, calcium, zinc, lead in the soils and natural
waters of Dagestan is determined – an increase in the number of patients with
hypertension with an increase in the content of lead and a decrease in
magnesium, potassium, calcium, zinc in the objects of the biosphere. When
assessing the pathogenesis of hypertension in children, it is necessary to take
into account the content of magnesium, potassium, calcium, zinc, and lead in
soil and water, which affects the elemental status of the patient.
