[Adolescents' health in Nagorno-Karabakh].
Some health indices were studied in teenagers in Nagorny Karabakh. The paper presents data on their physical development, hemodynamics, sexual maturity, and total morbidity. There are some regional features in the study indices, which consist in low harmonicity of physical development and hemodynamics, as well as in high morbidity rates with a predominance of cardiovascular and collagen diseases. The found abnormalities may be directly related to the poor environment for teenagers in Nagorny Karabakh after the 1991-1994 war in the region and show it necessary to improve their living conditions, medical control, and therapeutical-and-prophylactic measures.
