COMPARISON OF ANTHROPOMETRIC INDICATORS OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS IN URGENCH

Abstract

The study of the state of the demographic situation of children and
adolescents is one of the most actual socio-economic problems affecting the
interests of national security [4]. In connection with the above, one of the most
important tasks of morphologists is the study of age, individual, sex and
anthropometric characteristics of the organism at various stages of ontogenesis
under different specific conditions and, on this basis, the development of preventive
measures [1,2,3]. The purpose of our study was to study the dynamics and
parameters of the physical development of children and adolescents in the city of
Urgench. Practically healthy children from maternity hospitals, pupils of
kindergartens and students of schools in the city of Urgench served as the material
for the study.
