Abstract

Objective: to analyze the integrated assessment of schoolchildren’s health from definite age groups (6-10, 11-14, 15-18). Material and methods. 952 schoolchildren from schools No. 32, No. 46 took part in the research (500 boys and 452 girls, of them, 364 aged 6-10, 385 aged 11-14, 203 schoolchildren aged 15-18). The primary medical records were analyzed (the history of child development - form #112/у, medical record of a schoolchild - form #026/у, with the account of the planned and additional medical examinations). The statistical data processing was performed with the programs SPSS-13, SPSS-16 using the comparative assessment of criteria distribution. Results. On the assumption of the performed assessment of the schoolchildren’s health we can conclude that 72 % schoolchildren had mid-harmonic physical development, 20.6 % schoolchildren observed disharmonic physical development and 2.4 % revealed high harmonious physical development. Over 2006-2010, the incidence rate of urogenital diseases 1.5 times increased. The incidence rate of musculoskeletal diseases, eye, endocrine, alimentary diseases, blood circulation and blood diseases 2 times increased. The percentage of the schoolchildren being in the first health group 2 times decreased, meanwhile, the percentage of children being in the second and third health groups 1.2 increased. 65.3 % schoolchildren were in the main health group in physical training. 24.9 % schoolchildren were in the preparatory group. The special medical group included 6.8 % schoolchildren. 2 % schoolchildren attended therapeutic physical training group. 1 % schoolchildren were released from physical training classes. Conclusion. The health of schoolchildren in modern conditions is characterized by the increased rate of urogenital, musculoskeletal diseases, eye diseases, blood circulation and blood diseases, endocrine and metabolic, alimentary diseases, also by reduction in the percentage of children being in the first health group.
