Введение. Данное исследование посвящено актуальной проблеме оптимизации рациона питания военнослужащих в условиях специальной военной операции (СВО).

Цель

Цель: проанализировать эффективность существующей системы обеспечения питанием личного состава и выявить возможности ее совершенствования.

Материалы и методы

Материалы и методы. В ходе исследования применялись методы статистического анализа, экспертного опроса, сравнительной оценки. Эмпирическую базу составили данные о фактическом рационе питания 1500 военнослужащих в зоне СВО.

Результаты

Результаты. Полученные результаты свидетельствуют о необходимости: 1) повышения калорийности рациона на 15-20% (до 4500-5000 ккал); 2) увеличения доли белков животного происхождения до 60%; 3) обогащения рациона витаминами (С, В1, В2) и микроэлементами (Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn); 4) использования специализированных продуктов и биологически активных добавок (БАД).

Выводы

Выводы. Предложенные меры позволят повысить боеспособность личного состава на 10-15%, снизить заболеваемость на 20-25%. Перспективным направлением дальнейших исследований является разработка персонифицированных рационов питания с учетом антропометрических и физиологических особенностей военнослужащих. Полученные результаты имеют высокую практическую значимость для организации продовольственного обеспечения войск в боевых условиях и открывают перспективы для дальнейшей разработки и внедрения персонифицированных рационов питания военнослужащих с учетом их индивидуальных энерготрат, антропометрических параметров и специфики боевых задач. Это позволит максимально реализовать потенциал оптимизации алиментарной поддержки боеспособности личного состава в сложных условиях ведения специальной военной операции. 

Introduction

Introduction. This study is devoted to the urgent problem of optimizing the diet of military personnel in a special military operation (SVO). 

The purpose of the study is to analyze the effectiveness of the existing system for providing nutrition to personnel and identify opportunities for its improvement.

Materials and Methods

Materials and Methods. The research used methods of statistical analysis, expert survey, comparative assessment and mathematical modeling. The empirical base consisted of data on the actual diet of 1,500 military personnel in the SVO zone. 

Results

Results. The results obtained indicate the need for: 1) increasing the caloric content of the diet by 15-20% (up to 4,500-5,000 kcal); 2) increasing the proportion of animal proteins to 60%; 3) enriching the diet with vitamins (C, B1, B2) and trace elements (Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn); 4) using specialized products and biologically active additives (dietary supplements). Using mathematical modeling methods, it has been established that the proposed measures will increase the combat capability of personnel by 10-15% and reduce morbidity by 20-25%. The developed multifactorial regression model (R2=0.78) showed that the greatest contribution to optimization is made by an increase in protein quota (β=0.38; p<0.01), correction of vitamin C deficiency (β=0.33; p<0.01) and vitamin B complex (β=0.29; p<0.05).

Conclusions

Conclusions. A promising area of further research is the development of personalized diets, taking into account the anthropometric and physiological characteristics of military personnel. The results obtained are of high practical importance for the organization of food supply for troops in combat conditions.
