title: [Qualitative and quantitative aspects of risk-factors of dentofacial system anomalies in children with postural disorders and scoliosis].
abstract: The purpose of the study was to investigate qualitative and quantitative aspects of risk-factors of dentofacial system anomalies in children with postural disorders and scoliosis. We have examined 600 children at the age of 6-15 with postural disorders and scoliosis (study group), also 100 children without postural disorders and scoliosis (control group) and 100 practically healthy children (children without postural disorders, scoliosis and dentofacial anomalies). The spread of dentofacial anomalies in children of the study group was 70.2%, in the control group -- 41.0%. For the estimation of the degree of association between the disease frequency and certain risk-factors, chi(2) indicator has been calculated. In the examined population simultaneous existence of several factors prevailed. High frequency of the combination of risk factors (simultaneous existence of 5-7 factors in average) was found, which was much more frequent (p<0.001) in the contingent of the study and the control groups (3-4 times) than in the group of practically healthy children.
