Abstract

The article presents the results of assessing the health status of students of a pedagogical university who studied in the first year. A total of 197 students were examined, including 54 boys and 143 girls aged 18 years. Standard generally accepted methods for studying anthropometric indicators were used, flatfoot was diagnosed, the presence of various diseases was assessed using a survey, and the degree of personal anxiety was assessed using the technique of Ch. Spielberger and Yu.L. Khanin. It is shown that the anthropometric indicators of students were within the age-sex norm, no significant gender differences were found. However, it was determined that among girls there is a higher percentage of underweight people compared to boys. Evaluation of the results of the plantogram study revealed that 24% of boys and 25.2% of girls have a deformity in the form of a flat foot of the 1st degree, 2-3 degrees - 4% and 5.5% of the students, respectively. It has been established that 54% of the students surveyed have various health problems, among which allergic reactions to various factors predominate (28%), to a large extent to household chemicals (64% of boys and 68% of girls). The results of the survey of personal anxiety demonstrated that girls had a higher level of anxiety (by 12%) compared to boys.
