[Health and nutrition in adolescents of the Primorye Territory].

The paper presents the results of a study of health status and some factors of nutrition in 1900 adolescents aged 10-17 years from the Primorye Territory. A comprehensive assessment of the height and development established health group 1 only in 4.2%, which is 6.5% less than the initial data of preventive examinations at educational establishments. The implication of the morphofunctional status was underestimated in assessing the health status. The findings of the pattern of nutrition in children adolescents from the Primorye Territory point to its irregularity, unbalanced characteristics in terms of basic ingredients, accompanied by low health indices. Metabolic trophotropicity was revealed in the adolescents of the Primorye Territory at the present stage. These processes were most marked in 13-year-old girls. In the average, in every 7 children protein metabolism tended to decrease with the maximum manifestation of these disorders at the age of 11-12 years.

[Central hemodynamic parameters in adolescents aged 10-17 years in the Primorye Territory].

The paper presents the results of their own studies of the central hemodynamics of 1900 adolescents aged 10-17 years in the Primorye Territory. Most adolescents were found to have reduced cardiac output, stroke output, and cardiac index and no definitive level of the development of the cardiovascular system by the age of 17 years; the adolescents aged 10-14 years had diminished physical fitness. ECG arrhythmia was most frequently observed in the schoolchildren. There is no question that to study the adolescents' morphofunctional development, by applying a regional approach is important and necessary for the substantiation and implementation of preventive measures.
