MORPHOMETRIC INDICATORS OF GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN IN ENDEMIC AREAS
Keywords:
children, height, body weight, chest circumference, length, upper limb, lower limb, head sizeAbstract
Introduction: The study of morphometric indicators of growth and development of children in the endemic zones of the Bukhara region showed that the anthropometric parameters of the body in boys with age (from 6 years to 12 years) increases in size.
Result: In boys, by the age of 12 in relation to the age of 6, the growth of children (boys) increased by 30.5%. The highest growth rate was revealed by the age of 7 by 10.9% in relation to the age of 6. Morphometric parameters (body weight, chest circumference, length of the upper and lower extremities) of 12-year-old boys in relation to 6-year-old children develop from 20.4% of the chest circumference to 50.9% of the body weight of children. The proportional development of the body of children at the main age stages of growth and development will reveal the patterns of postnatal ontogenesis.
Conclusion: The results of anthropometry showed that when examining children of 6-12 years of age on different parts of the body, the indicators of his physical development also directly increase with the growth of the child's age.
