Two groups of practically healthy elderly and old people were investigated. The first group consisted of 265 aborigens of three Abkhazian villages examined under field conditions, and the second group was composed of 227 inhabitants of Ukraine, the patients of clinic at Institute of Gerontology in Kiev. It was established that changes of the lung ventilation parameters typical of ageing were less pronounced in the Abkhazian inhabitants than in the Ukrainian ones. Ageing dynamics and values of the studied parameters were the same in Abkhazians: relatives of the long-living people and Abkhazians without hereditary predisposition to longevity. This fact permits a conclusion that the peculiarities of the respiratory system ageing in the Abkhazian population are mainly due to the environmental factors.
对两组实际健康的老年人和高龄老人进行了调查。第一组由在野外条件下接受检查的三个阿布哈兹村庄的265名原住民组成，第二组由227名乌克兰居民组成，他们是基辅老年医学研究所诊所的患者。结果发现，阿布哈兹居民中典型的肺通气参数随年龄变化不如乌克兰居民明显。阿布哈兹人的衰老动态和所研究参数的值相同：长寿者的亲属和无长寿遗传易感性的阿布哈兹人。这一事实使得可以得出结论，阿布哈兹人群呼吸系统衰老的特点主要归因于环境因素。
