ASSESSMENT OF PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OF 7-17-YEAR-OLD SCHOOL STUDENTS

Аннотация

Studying the health status of children and adolescents includes a mandatory assessment of physical development, because physical development clearly reflects the influence of both internal factors and exogenous hygienic and social environmental factors on the body. The relationship between the effect of actual nutrition on physical development indicators shows that insufficient intake of basic nutrients, macro- and micronutrients relative to age norms is reflected in body length and weight indicators. According to many literature data, every year the number of children with disharmonious variants of physical development due to excess body weight and underweight is growing.
