Introduction. The autonomic nervous system is the main regulatory mechanism of a
living organism that provides homeostasis. Objective: to investigate the effect of the Moon
phases on the autonomic balance of the human body, the ratio of sympathetic nervous system
activity to the parasympathetic nervous system and the functional health of the population.
Materials and methods. 1592 males of different age were examined with the help of
functional vegetative diagnostics according to the method of V. Makats. The bioelectric
activity of 12 symmetric pairs of functionally active zones of the skin (24 FAZ), 12 on the
hands and 12 on the feet, which reflect the functional activity of the sympathetic and
parasympathetic nervous systems were studied. Results. In the male group aged 3-6 years old,
the chaotic pattern of functional dependencies is related to the physiological and functional
immaturity of the adaptation processes and the speed of their formation and stabilization in
177
the body of children. In the male group of 12-15 years old in different phases of the Moon the
changes in activity indicators of functional systems with much smaller amplitude are
observed, though the nature and direction of changes in activity remain similar, which
indicates the stabilization of adaptation mechanisms in the body. In the male group aged 21-
50 years old maximum amplitude fluctuations in the functional activity of the systems and
vegetative homeostasis are observed in the new Moon and the full one, which indicates a
decrease in adaptation processes associated with age-related decrease in physiological and
biochemical processes in the body and the appearance of the organism in the body.
Conclusions. It has been established that the change of the Moon phases leads to significant
changes in the functional activity and homeostasis of the body of men of different age groups.
On-phase Moon activity indicators of functional systems duplicating the norm line have the
same orientation, differing in amplitude, forming age-specific features of the tone of the
autonomic nervous system.
