RESEARCH OVERVIEW
Abstract
The daily routine of military personnel, which reflects military discipline, includes specific features related to eating habits, conditions, and increased professional workloads. Along with stress and psychological strain, the prevalence of harmful habits among military personnel is notably higher compared to the general population [2.13]. This, in turn, creates conditions for the development of decompensation in individuals suffering from any chronic non-communicable diseases, exacerbating existing pathology.
