Optical non-invasive diagnostic methods have already proven themselves effective in identifying disorders of peripheral blood flow associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases (arterial hypertension, coronary artery disease, stroke), type 2 diabetes mellitus, and other markers of metabolic syndrome [2, 4, 6, 9].</p><p>In the Russian Federation, within the framework of the national project "New Health Preservation Technologies" (2025-2030), the emphasis is on the development of preventive medicine technologies to ensure active and healthy longevity of citizens. Currently, in the RF, cardiovascular diseases (ranking 1st in the structure of overall morbidity in adults) continue to contribute significantly to mortality rates. Furthermore, the origins of cardiovascular pathology undoubtedly lie in childhood. The introduction of preventive medicine technologies in pediatrics should lead to significant results in preserving adult health in subsequent years [3, 5].</p></sec><sec><title>Objective</title><p>To study the state of the microcirculatory-tissue system in schoolchildren in order to determine prenosological screening markers of cardiovascular risk.</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and Methods</title><p>A comprehensive examination of 190 school-age children (14-17 years) was conducted at the Children's Health Center of the Smolensk Regional Children's Clinical Hospital as part of preventive check-ups for students from secondary educational institutions in Smolensk.

The following microcirculation parameters were assessed: M – arithmetic mean value of the microcirculation index (conventional units); M nutr. – mean value of nutritive blood flow (conv. units); σ – standard deviation of blood flow fluctuations from the mean value M (conv. units); Kv – coefficient of variation of blood flow fluctuations (%); An and Am – amplitudes of blood flow fluctuations (conv. units) due to neurogenic and myogenic mechanisms of vascular tone regulation, respectively; Ad and Ac – amplitudes of respiratory and cardiac blood flow fluctuations (conv. units); Fluxmotion Index (FMI = (Am + An) / (Ad + Ac), conv. units), characterizing the balance ratio between active and passive mechanisms of microcirculation regulation. Using laser fluorescence spectroscopy ("Lazma PF", Russia), the relative fluorescence amplitude of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (ANADN (A460/A365), conv. units) was assessed; as well as the Oxidative Metabolism Index (OMI, conv. units), linking the nutritive component of blood perfusion (microcirculation) (Mnutr.) and the fluorescence amplitude of the NADH coenzyme (ANADN). The microcirculation and oxidative metabolism studies were conducted under identical conditions for 4 minutes in the area of the right forearm.</p><p>Statistical processing of the research results was performed using the data analysis package of Microsoft Excel 2003, applying parametric (M, SD) and non-parametric (Me, 25th-75th perc.) statistics methods.

It was revealed that schoolchildren with overweight/obesity and normal BP (Group 2) showed a trend towards an increase in the median perfusion (M, conv. units) compared to children in Group 1 (the increase in microcirculation occurred mainly due to an increase in M nutr. (an increase of 9.1%; p &gt; 0.05). Against the background of increased perfusion, a significant decrease of 51.9% in the coefficient of variation of blood flow fluctuations (Kv (%)) was noted in children of Group 2 compared to children of Group 1 (decrease from 40.41% to 26.6%; p &lt; 0.05). In schoolchildren of Group 3 with elevated systolic BP, a more significant increase in median perfusion (M, conv. units) was recorded compared to children in Groups 1 and 2 – by 29.6% and 23.0%, respectively (p &lt; 0.05). The increase in microcirculation was also largely due to an increase in M nutr. (an increase of 53.3% compared to children in Group 1). A similar (as in children of Group 2) decrease in the coefficient of variation of blood flow fluctuations (Kv (%)) and blood flow variability (σ, conv. units) was observed in schoolchildren of Group 3 compared to children of Group 1 (p &lt; 0.05).</p><p>Table 2.

A similar trend in microcirculation regulation (decrease in the amplitude of respiratory and cardiac blood flow fluctuations) was also recorded in children of Group 3 compared to children of Group 1 (Table 3). Furthermore, in schoolchildren of Group 3 with elevated systolic BP, a significant increase in the median amplitude of neurogenic (An by a factor of 1.86) and myogenic (Am by a factor of 1.63) mechanisms of blood flow regulation was recorded (p &lt; 0.05) compared to children in Group 1; similar features of microcirculatory blood flow regulation were noted in schoolchildren of Group 3 compared to children of Group 2 (Table 3). It should be separately noted that in schoolchildren of Group 3, a more pronounced dependence of vascular tone regulation on the nervous and muscular components was recorded compared to children in Groups 1 and 2; this is evidenced by an increase in the median FMI in schoolchildren of Group 3 by a factor of 1.83 compared to the FMI of children in Group 1 (p &lt; 0.05) and by a factor of 1.47 (p &lt; 0.05) compared to the FMI of children in Group 2.</p><p>Table 3.

Meanwhile, schoolchildren in Group 3 showed a significant increase in OMI by a factor of 2.1 (p &lt; 0.05) compared to children in Group 1, against the background of an increase in the fluorescence amplitude of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (ANADN) and M nutr. (Tables 2, 4). The integral complex indicator OMI reflects the state of metabolic processes in the skin, including consideration of microcirculatory blood flow. In this regard, in the second stage, based on the analysis of oxidative metabolism data (OMI, conv. units) from schoolchildren in Group 1, normative parameters characterizing the functional state of the microcirculatory-tissue system (FS MTS) were proposed for further assessment of its structure in children of Groups 2 and 3.</p><p>Considering the recommendations of the "Lazma PF" analyzer manual [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit7">7</xref>] and the OMI values obtained in the study for children in Group 1 (25th–75th perc., conv. units), it is proposed to distinguish 4 types of FS MTS in schoolchildren aged 14-17 years:</p><p>Table 5.

In schoolchildren with elevated ambulatory BP against the background of excess body fat, the features of FS MTS were: a significant increase in perfusion (microcirculation) against the background of reduced variability and enhanced active mechanisms of blood flow regulation, characterized by the predominance of sympathetic influences; as well as an increase in the intensity of oxidative metabolism at the microcirculatory level.</p><p>Based on the results of laser Doppler flowmetry and laser fluorescence spectroscopy ("Lazma PF"), the prenosological screening diagnostic markers of cardiovascular risk in schoolchildren with overweight/obesity should be considered "increased activity" of FS MTS against the background of high values of the Fluxmotion Index (indicating increased sympathetic influences on microcirculatory blood flow).</p></sec></body><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Александров А.А., Кисляк О.А., Леонтьева И.В. от имени экспертов.
