Abstract
We analyzed the prevalence of alimentary-dependent diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, endocrine organs, blood and hematopoietic organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism, in particular anemia, obesity in schoolchildren aged 7–17 years. An increase in the number of these diseases was found in schoolchildren, associated with malnutrition and nutritional status disorders over a 6-year period. There has been a significant increase in obesity, the prevalence of which has increased over the past six years, among children 5 times. Among schoolchildren living in the city, diseases of the digestive organs associated with malnutrition account for 27.2 % of all alimentary-dependent diseases. We found that disease prevalence rates caused by the alimentary factor are influenced by the school environment factors. Formation of eating disorders in high school associated with the intensity of the educational process and training of senior schoolchildren during the school year only from the second shift create prerequisites for eating disorders and is a factor leading to an increase in the number of children with inadequate nutritional status.
