Background. the problem of developmental obesity is growing in most countries of the world, reaching an epidemic. excessive body weight in childhood results in a greater likelihood of obesity in adulthood, as well as causing endocrine, orthopedic, cardiological and psychogenic disorders. overweight and obesity appear to be the most important causative factor. Objectives. the aim of the study was to estimate the usefulness of body composition analysis in predicting high blood pressure among children and adolescents and the correlation between the parameters of body mass and blood pressure (BP). Material and methods. children from the age of 8 to 15 with recurrent respiratory tract diseases were selected during a rehabilitation and wellness stay in crr Krus in szklarska Poreba. Body composition analysis was performed using the tanita Mc-780Ma analyzer, and blood pressure was measured with a dial gauge. the study was conducted between 2015 and 2016, creating a database of 325 results sets. Results. statistically significant correlations between systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, body weight and fat mass content were shown (p < 0.001). BMI and body fat content correlations were also statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusions. there is a problem of under-diagnosis of hypertension in the pediatric population. obesity and overweight are connected with abnormal BP and hypertension. the total content of fat mass correlates with abnormal BP and hypertension.

Background. obesity developing in the early years is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. this contributes to the need for the earliest possible diagnosis of overweight in children. there is a noticeable underdiagnosis of obesity, most often in children between 5 and 12 years of age, as well as in adolescents. Objectives. the aim of the study was to estimate the correlation between anthropometric measurements that are most commonly used in the diagnosis of obesity. Material and methods. the study involved 150 children, during their rehabilitation and wellness stay at crr KrUs in szklarska Poreba in 2017. the entire group performed basic anthropometric measurements -height, body weight, waist circumference and thickness of the deltoid skin fold. Body composition analysis was performed using the tanita analyzer. Results. a statistically significant correlation between the studied parameters was assumed (p < 0.001). the parameter showing the highest level of correlation with other measured parameters was the BMi percentile, BMi value and cole index. among the parameters not based on growth and weight in the boys' group, the most important was the percentile of the waist circumference (r = 0.76), while in the girls' group, the content of adipose tissue (r = 0,74). Conclusions. the BMi and centile BMi results were the parameters of the highest value in the diagnosis and monitoring of excessive body weight in children. in addition, neither weight nor growth measurements should be used to determine the amount and location of adipose tissue.

Admission: Care for disabled child may present many difficulties and cause stressful situations that generate negative emotions. One of them is fear.Objective of the work: Assessment of the level of anxiety state and trait in people taking care of a disabled child. Materials and methods:The study was conducted among 100 employees center for disabled children and Wierzbice in Katy Wroclawskie. The research tool was the Inventory and the State Trait Anxiety (STAI). Results:The level of anxiety carers of people with disabilities depends on the age of the subjects (p = 0.025), professional experience (p = 0.047), operating system (0.002) and the degree of disability of children (p = 0.004). While the intensity of the drug is not affected by gender, education and occupation. Results:The level of anxiety careers of people with disabilities depends on the age of the subjects (p = 0.025), professional experience (p = 0.047), operating system (0.002) and the degree of disability of children (p = 0.004). While the intensity of the drug is not affected by gender, education and occupation.Discussion: Both the age and experience of the work associated with sophistication and getting used to disability beneficiaries. The impact may also have a stable position in the life of the elderly. The importance of the degree of disability is unmistakable, taking into account both the physical stress and emotional caregivers.
