Using the technique of V.P. Voitenko revealed accelerated aging of dispatchers, ahead of the average population standard by an average of 5.4 years. With normal blood pressure in the group on average, unfavorable changes in the regulation of the cardiovascular system were revealed: the predominance of average and below average indicators of its functioning, the predominance of parasympathetic tone and also the vascular type of self-regulation of blood circulation - the most prognostically unfavorable in relation to the development of cardiovascular pathology. An age-related increase in systolic blood pressure, an increase in the proportion of blood vessels and a decrease in the proportion of the heart muscle in self-regulation of blood circulation, deterioration in static balancing were revealed. The most common complaints are sleep problems, anxiety, blurred vision, sagging skin, low back pain, decreased performance over the years. Most of them are associated with an increase in calendar or individual biological age. Chronic diseases of dispatchers are mainly associated with the state of the cardiovascular and nervous system, including its higher parts.

Key words: age, cardiovascular system, dispatchers, shift work.
