title: [Harmonic physical development of children in the town of Gomel in the post-Chernobyl period].
abstract: The results of investigation of the harmony of physical development of children living in Gomel (the density of Cs137 territory contamination is 1-5 Ci/km2) are presented. Age and sex characteristics of body mass and body length variations, annual mass gains, the mass and length parameter and the harmony of physical development are assessed. A significant proportion of the children have manifested disharmonious and sharply disharmonious development due both to the excess or deficiency of body mass of the 1st and 2nd categories.
