We studied the vascular endothelial vasomotor function in healthy young individuals, depending on the type of character accentuation, levels of neuroticism, depression and anxiety. It is shown that the types of character accentuation effect on endothelial vasomotor function in healthy men and women. Personality characteristics of a person can be a significant risk factor for disease, the pathogenesis of which is the starting element of endothelial vasomotor dysfunction.

The aim of the study was to compare psycho-physiological personality characteristics of patients with newly diagnosed arterial hypertension serving sentence in corrective-labour institutions and treated in a city hospital. In the first group, 36 men of the 612 had grade 1 or 2 essential arterial hypertension. Analysis of psycho-physiological characteristics showed that emotive behaviour and anxiety are the major personality traits hampering compensation of intrapsychic conflict of the psychosomatic type and promote neurotization and depression in subjects with arterial hypertension serving sentence in corrective-labour institutions.

This analytical survey shows that health status of jail prisoners in Russia as worldwide is strikingly different from that of the general population. The difference is accounted for by the concentration of socially dysadapted individuals in penitentiary institutions, conditions and relations facilitating the spread of certain infections in prisons. This problem is of importance for society at large because most prisoners sooner or later come back to the normal life and influence national health statistics. Moreover, penitentiary institutions constitute an important reserve of national health care systems since prevention and treatment of a large group of diseases among the prisoners facilitate the work of public health facilities serving the general population.
