Annotation | In Ukraine, there are different trends in the health of the children's population. Unconditional is the negative impact on the health of children of environmentally polluted environment, in particular the consequences of the Chernobyl accident. After a nuclear catastrophe, a complex of long-term pathogenic factors (post-exposure effects of long-lived radionuclides, chronic stress, irrational lifestyle and nutrition, subsequent negative socio-economic social changes, etc.) has emerged, which have become unfavorable primarily for the growing child's organism. The complex effect of radiation and non-radiation factors that arose as a result of the Chernobyl accident caused a deterioration of the health status of all categories of victims, which is manifested in an increase in the overall cancer and non-congenital morbidity, in particular in the classes of respiratory, endocrine, cardiovascular, digestive, nervous systems , increase in disability due to not only oncological, but also sociosomatic morbidity in children. The rate of growth of morbidity for all classes of diseases of children from regions with territories of radioecological control over the past 22 years was + 42.1%, and was the highest compared to the similar parameters in children from areas without territories of radioecological control, which was + 32.9%, with a nationwide growth rate + 36.09%. There is a very high rate of growth rate of the incidence of newborns in children from areas with radioecological control areas + 169.9%. In children from areas without radioecological control areas it was + 163.2% at the national level + 162.3%. |
