Health monitoring includes a scale assessment of functional tests. The actual state of population health is still not included in the registers of National Statistics of Ukraine for example workers, pensioners and unemployment. The purpose of the study was systemic online health monitoring, to assess the impact of professional, demographic, and socio-economic factors in the Covid-19 pandemic condition and the limited capacity of the health care system in Ukraine. Methods: The study used the intrinsic capacity assessment scales, the five-question scale to detect muscle dysfunction in older persons, as well as some questions regarding residual performance, psychophysiological methods, and characteristics of the functional age. The questionnaire Human Health Passport 1.1 includes 70 questions; 21 of them were a...

The state of health is the basis of the general working capacity and functional age of the pensioners and the employee. In the world are exists basic scales for the definition and assessment of frailty, intrinsic capacity, assessment of cognitive abilities. We have created a method named "Human Health Passport" online for round-the-clock monitoring of public health online. The objective self-assessment or estimation by a medical specialist for individual and public health, physician, rehabilitator or geriatricians gets results of functional test state and questionnaire answers and computers assessment in the cloud. The content of the passport includes the research results of the Institute of Gerontology, worldwide gerontologists scales and WHO's recommendations that have been adopted for the local communities (for Ukraine's actual three languages: Ukrainian, Russian and English). The results of the test "Human Health Passport" help a person to get attention to the state of their health and workability and evaluate the possibility of the diseases. Detailed information on diseases and treatment is available after physician investigation. Meanwhile, the total individual data based can be used for monitoring aims in local professional populations. Using traditional methods such as systematization of research results, multivariate analysis of data, correlation and Cronbach's alpha analysis determined the degree of reliability on the basic parameters that make up the initial assessment, especially for remote monitoring of public health-based for all age groups. The results of monitoring randomized sample study have been shown high informativeness of the method regarding health state in persons with full employment status within age 31-85 years by all regions and administrative units in Ukraine. The results of the online monitoring "Human Health Passport" has been shown that the determination coefficients of the education parameters and occupational status, vision, hearing, metabolism, physical ability, cognition (mainly attention) and functional activity, mostly in the working population respondents determine a significant impact on health (p < 0.05-0.001) according to the total and scale assessment. Assessment of reliability, informativeness and analysis of correlation relationship between monitoring indicators are demonstrated as a favourable criterion of compliance of parameters to the scale of individual Human Health Passport. Similar patterns have been found on the population level mainly in working subjects as online users of mobile applications with remote automated health monitoring.

We have found that 13% of the respondents have preserved the general working performance. The other 15.6% of the subjects have developed the pathology of the musculoskeletal system that limited the volume of their motion but still allowed to perform certain jobs. Studying the physiological and professional anamnesis parameters showed that about 70% of the "fourth age" people had significant reduction of self service and total working capacity. People with higher level of body mass index had better functional indices of physical and mental performance. We have defined the principal changes of the aging persons' general working capacity, particularly their physiological, rehabilitation, and gerontechnological characteristics.

When analyzing the tightness of the relationships, there is a stronger relationship between the residual performance and the calendar age than the rate of functional aging and calendar age. The study of concomitant influencing factors throughout life has been shown that the presence of labor or family migration within the region, within and between states; as well as indicators of the length of service, year, age, and reasons for retirement do not have reliable correlation with the rate of aging. Reliable correlation associations were found with continued retirement at the time of the study; with the year of termination of work; and the size of the total income of the examined individuals -associations in comparison with the r...
