[Influence of social and sanitary factors of living conditions of schoolchildren on their physical development].
The influence of social and sanitary factors on the physical development of children living in 3 different towns of the Republic of Uzbekistan was studied. The decreased physical development of children shows a clear correlation with the low educational level of their parents, with poor dietary habits during school years, and with poor living conditions. A moderate correlation was established between the low physical development and the prolonged (1.5 years or longer) stay in the beshic (a special Uzbek national bed), with the large number of children in the family, with the low social maternal status, with breast milk feeding less than 9 months, with the kinship of their parents, and with the low length of birth. There was a weak correlation of the decreased physical development and with birth body weight and their fathers' social status. Therefore, a risk group of children sowing low physical development should be formed by taking into account a complex of poor social, living, and sanitary factors of an individual medical history.
