Human life expectancy is gradually increasing. Simultaneously with this phenomenon, accompanying problems arise. It is important not only to stay alive, but also to be physically active. Professor Yuri Gushcho has been dealing with this topic for a long time and seriously.
Starting conditions
The rapid development of information technology creates conditions for the emergence of new directions in science. Yuri Petrovich Gushcho is an electrical engineer by his first education. At a certain stage in his professional career, he began to take an interest in the problems of longevity. Of course, this interest did not arise out of nowhere. The professor fell seriously ill and had to fight for his life. With his characteristic scrupulousness, he approached the analysis and assessment of the current situation.
Yuri Gushcho was born on May 16, 1937 in an intelligent family. Parents lived in Moscow. My father worked as a professor at the Department of Japanese at MGIMO. Mother worked as a geologist. The boy grew up and developed in a healthy, intellectual environment. From an early age, the child was taught that it is equally necessary to work with both hands and head. Yuri studied well at school. Like many teenagers, in the post-war years he was fond of radio engineering.
Scientific activity
After graduating from school, Gushcho decided to get a specialized education and entered the famous Moscow Power Engineering Institute. Young people of today know little about the creation and development of computer technology in the Soviet Union. There was a lag in this area from the Americans, but very insignificant. The creativity and achievements of domestic scientists were poorly perceived in the lower levels of the national economy. Yuri Petrovich defended his Ph. D. thesis at his own institute. However, he received popular recognition for developing the basic principles of longevity.
Some narrow specialists disapproved of Yuri Gushcho's research. The scientist, using the methodology of knowing the unknown, created a new direction in science called gerontology. He identified twelve parameters that affect human health. We can say that Gushcho did not make a special discovery, but he convincingly systematized the main factors of influence.
Essays on personal life
In the biography of the scientist, it is noted that already in adulthood, he developed disorders in the functioning of the hip joint. After the doctors passed their unhappy verdict, Yuri Petrovich ventured to apply his own method of treatment. I took a chance and was cured. For years, he has been collecting statistics on the quality of life of ordinary citizens. I was interested in how people live in the village and in the city. The result of the research was a list of the main parameters affecting life expectancy.
These indicators include nutrition, quality of medical care, place of birth and others. Today the method is used by millions of people in Russia and abroad. You can't write much about the professor's personal life. Yuri Gushcho is married. His wife is 16 years younger than him. The husband and wife lovingly raised and raised their daughter. Today two granddaughters are happy.
