“…Поэтому своевременная оценка физического развития детей как важного показателя состояния их здоровья необходима для раннего выявления негативного влияния на организм биологических и социальных факторов [1]. При этом заболеваемость детей всех возрастных групп отличается выраженными региональными особенностями 5 [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Стратегической задачей здравоохранения Российской Федерации, изложенной в федеральном проекте «Укрепление общественного здоровья» национального проекта «Демография», является инвестирование в здоровье подрастающего поколения [17].…”

Introduction: Physical development is one of the important health criteria of children and adolescents. The objective of our study was to evaluate anthropometric status indicators of school-aged children and their parents using the results of a questionnaire-based survey conducted in the Sverdlovsk Region. Materials and methods: The survey was carried out in accordance with method recommendations and practical guidelines developed by the Federal Research Center for Nutrition and Biotechnology and involved 3,369 schoolchildren and 5,303 parents. When parents specified body height and weight of their children in questionnaires, we also made use of the results of regular medical checkups provided by medical workers. Results: We established that the majority children had normal height and weight, a third of them were overweight, which was more typical for children living in rural areas, and every fifth child was underweight. Overweight was more prevalent among primary and secondary school boys whereas underweight was more common among high school girls. The average body mass index of parents was slightly above the healthy weight range and equaled 25.6 kg/m2 , overweight being more frequent in men. We noticed that most overweight parents of both genders lived in rural areas. The odds of overweight in children of mothers and fathers with a body mass excess were 1.9 and 1.4 times higher, respectively. Relative risk values indicate an immediate relationship between overweight in parents, especially mothers, and their children. Conclusions: The risk of childhood overweight and obesity is higher in children of overweight parents.

The study included 10,480 urban and rural schoolchildren aged 7-17 years, born in the high-mountain area of the Naryn oblast of the Kyrgyz Republic, located at more than 2500 m above sea level. Statistical parameters of body length and weight, chest circumference were studied. The greatest increment in the body length in urban boys falls to 14 years (rate of increase 5.69%), and that for rural boys - to 13 years of age (rate of increase 5.18%), the annual increase in the body length in urban and rural schoolgirls is lower than the average increase in boys by 31% and 16 % respectively. The greatest gender differences between boys and girls are found at the age of 12 years, after which the rate of longitudinal growth of girls decreases. In boys, increments in longitudinal height sharply rise at the age of 14 years. Average arithmetic indices of body length and weight of schoolchildren in Bishkek (2013) are significantly higher in all age groups as compared to the body length and weight of schoolchildren in the city of Naryn.

Twenty-seven scientists met for the annual Auxological conference held at Aschau, Germany, to particularly discuss the interaction between social factors and human growth, and to highlight several topics of general interest to the regulation of human growth. Humans are social mammals. Humans show and share personal interests and needs, and are able to strategically adjust size according to social position, with love and hope being prime factors in the regulation of growth. In contrast to Western societies, where body size has been shown to be an important predictor of socioeconomic status, egalitarian societies without formalized hierarchy and material wealth-dependent social status do not appear to similarly integrate body size and social network. Social network structures can be modeled by Monte Carlo simulation. Modeling dominance hierarchies suggests that winner-loser effects play a pivotal role in robust self-organization that transcends the specifics of the individual. Further improvements of the St. Nicolas House analysis using re-sampling/bootstrap techniques yielded encouraging results for exploring dense networks of interacting variables. Customized pediatric growth references, and approaches towards a Digital Rare Disease Growth Chart Library were presented. First attempts with a mobile phone application were presented to investigate the associations between maternal pre-pregnancy overweight, gestational weight gain, and the child’s future motor development. Clinical contributions included growth patterns of individuals with Silver-Russell syndrome, and treatment burden in children with growth hormone deficiency. Contributions on sports highlighted the fallacy inherent in disregarding the biological maturation status when interpreting physical performance outcomes. The meeting explored the complex influence of nutrition and lifestyle on menarcheal age of Lithuanian girls and emphasized regional trends in height of Austrian recruits. Examples of the psychosocial stress caused by the forced migration of modern Kyrgyz children and Polish children after World War II were presented, as well as the effects of nutritional stress during and after World War I. The session concluded with a discussion of recent trends in gun violence affecting children and adolescents in the United States, and aspects of life history theory using the example of "Borderline Personality Disorder." The features of this disorder are consistent with the notion that it reflects a "fast" life history strategy, with higher levels of allostatic load, higher levels of aggression, and greater exposure to both childhood adversity and chronic stress. The results were discussed in light of evolutionary guided research. In all contributions presented here, written informed consent was obtained from all participants in accordance with institutional Human investigation committee guidelines in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki amended October 2013, after information about the procedures used.
