ABSTRACT
AIM: study real nutrition of adults and children population of Aktyubinsk Region of Republic of Kazakhstan. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 260 adults aged of 18-59 and 128 children aged of 10-17 years were under investigation. The adults were differentiated into three age groups: 18-29, 30-39 and 40-59 years. For studying real nutrition a daily energy need, protein content in rations, fats, carbohydrate and mineral substance - magnesium, iron, copper, zinc - were assesses by 24-hours nutrition reproduction method. Investigation was made by questionnaire of observed groups. RESULTS: according to power price and protein content the adults feeding is value and due to protein, content 10-12% from necessary daily energy is provided. In children and adolescents food ration of protein is 1.5 times below normal, real power price is 1.3 times below normal. Fats take a considerable part of food ration both in adults and in children and their amount is increased in 47.4% of men, 45.9% in women and about 50% in children instead of 30% of daily energy. Carbohydrates content in men and women is 1.4 times lower, they cover only 41,8% and 42.1% of energy while they must compose 56% from daily dose. Acute deficiency of carbohydrates intake is noticed in children in two times and power supply composes 39% against 55% of normal. Content mineral substances (magnesium, iron, copper and zinc) in rations adults and children reduced.

Features of the nutritional status of children living in different environmental conditions, are determined by such factors as the physical development of children, level of hemoglobin, serum iron and ferritin. More pronounced adverse effect on the nutritional status of children observed in the oil and gas processing regions and the Aral Sea region.

The disturbance of the structure and function of pulmonary surfactant system (pSS) is an essential component of almost all pulmonary diseases. Chromium compounds have a damaging effect on the PSS, which contributes to the formation of nonspecific pulmonary diseases and a burden of chrome disease. The results showed that the oil of licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L) protects PSS in chronic chrome intoxication.

The work is devoted to a study of morphological and functional changes in liver and kidneys in the simulation of subacute toxic exposure of rats to domestic gas in the experiment. In the course of studies found that the subacute intoxication by domestic gas and its metabolites were shown to causes profound structural and metabolic lesions of the liver and kidneys that can progress to develop the chronic liver and kidney insufficiency.

The possibility of dietary correction of disorders in the metabolism of some fat- and water-soluble vitamins under chrome intoxication has been shown experimentally in August rats giver rations supplemented with fibers and antioxidant vitamins. The results obtained can be used as the theoretical ground for further improvement of nutrition for chrome industry workers.

The content of A, E, C, B2 and PP vitamins and their metabolites in the blood and urine as well as microsigns of vitamin deficiency were studied in workers engaged in chrome industry. Microsigns of vitamin deficiency were observed along with low levels of vitamins. This appears to be associated with increased physiological requirements in vitamins due to specific work of chrome industry personnel.
