[Morbidity of young children depending on conditions of rearing].
Disease incidence among infants is analyzed from the consultation rate and data of medical check-ups of children at infant homes and day nurseries and of children brought up at home. The highest morbidity according to consultation rate was observed in infant homes: 4015.8 per 1000. However, the incidence of acute diseases notably decreased after a long stay of the infant in the collective body. Time course of disease incidence in other groups was different. The detected regularities should be taken into consideration when planning prophylactic measures.
