[The prognosis of the development of autonomic dysfunction in puberty as the source of psychosomatic diseases in adults].

Comparative study of the incidence of various hereditary, constitutional and environmental factors in two groups of schoolchildren aged 8-18 with (506 subjects) and without (604) clinical signs of autonomic dysregulation yielded a set of indices reliably correlating with the autonomic dysfunction. Sequential statistical analysis after Wald assessed the information value and prognostic thresholds of the indices tabulated as the risk factors for autonomic dysfunction in children and adolescents. The results will be used in regular screening check-ups for the early detection of autonomic dysfunction in children, adolescents and for working out the preventive measures against a number of psychosomatic disorders in adults.
