ABSTRACT
A high level of morbidity among children with aggravating sociobiological factors (aggravating biological and obstetrical history, complicated newborn period, unhappy family) has been shown. The morbidity rates by cases and by days in different age groups are 1.3-2.8 times higher than those among episodically sick children. Children from unhappy families and those having a combination of 2-3 unfavourable factors in all age groups are to a greater extent suffering from chronic diseases mainly from bronchopulmonary and rhinopharyngeal diseases. Among them a small number of children (2.1-6.6%) have the I group of health. These children are in need of timely and differentiated medicopedagogical correction.
