El presente artículo está enfocado hacia el Estudio del Arte de Calidad de Vida desde el área de la Salud, específicamente tomando en cuenta las investigaciones realizadas con niños(as) y adolescentes en cáncer y su Calidad de Vida; para ello se realizó una revisión de los últimos diez años, después de un arqueo bibliográfico se consideraron aproximadamente 80 artículos para su revisión y discusión. De acuerdo a la revisión realizada se enfocó en tres aspectos: a) Elementos conceptuales relacionados con la Calidad de Vida(CV) y la Calidad de Vida relacionada con Salud (CVRS); b) la medición de la CVRS específicamente en niños(as) y adolescentes y c) Los diferentes instrumentos de evaluación creados para medir la CVRS en niños(as) y adolescentes. En relación con el primer aspecto, este constructo ha sido más fácil medirlo que definirlo, es un concepto extenso y ambiguo. En relación con la medición, uno de los problemas es el relacionado con las dificultades inherentes a su evaluación, debido a la naturaleza bipolar objetiva-subjetiva y su multidimensionalidad, compleja e indeterminada, y esto le da a la evaluación un problema adicional, aunado también que los instrumentos elaborados para tal fin, en ocasiones no cumplen los requisitos mínimos de construcción y generalización de resultados. La mayoría de las investigaciones concluyen que es muy importante la evaluación de la CVRS en el paciente pediátrico con cáncer, ya que la sola presencia de una enfermedad crónica desestabiliza la emocionalidad del paciente. Se concluye la importancia de la medida de CVRS en pacientes pediátricos, para uso en la práctica clínica y en la salud pública, considerar el proceso de crecimiento y desarrollo físico, cognitivo, intelectual y afectivo del niño/a ya que es continuo y representa un reto captar los aspectos positivos y los que afectan negativamente en la calidad de vida del paciente. The present article is focused towards the study of the art of quality of life from the area of the health, specifically taking in has them research made with children (as) and adolescents in cancer and its quality of life; for this is performed a review of them last ten years, after a tonnage bibliographic is considered approximately 80 articles for your review and discussion. In accordance the review focused on three aspects: to) conceptual elements related to quality of life (HP) and the quality of life related with health (HRQOL); b) the measurement of HRQOL in children and adolescents and c specifically) the different assessment instruments designed to measure HRQOL in children and adolescents. Regarding the first aspect, this construct has been easier to measure it to define it, is a lengthy and ambiguous concept. In relation to the measurement, one of the problems is related to the difficulties inherent in their assessment, due to the bipolar nature and its multidimensionality, complex and indeterminate, and this gives the assessment an additional problem, also joined that elaborate instruments for that purpose, sometimes do not meet the minimum requirements of construction and generalizability of results. The majority of the investigations conclude that assessment of HRQL in pediatric cancer patients is very important since the mere presence of a chronic disease disrupts the emotionality of the patient. Is concludes the importance of the measure of HRQOL in patients Pediatric, for use in the practice clinical and in the health public, consider the process of growth and development physical, cognitive, intellectual and affective of the child / to since is continuous and represents a challenge capture them aspects positive and which affect negatively in the quality of life of the patient.

The primary goals of the dietary recommendations are to limit intakes of SFA to less than 10 percent of total calories, to provide sufficient calories for growth and development without promoting obesity, and to limit cholesterol to less than 300 mg/day. These may be achieved more easily if the intake of total fat is restricted to no more than 30 percent of calories.

The article presents modern approaches to the use of balanced formulas for nutrition and diet correction in children with various forms of food allergies. The guidelines are based on all available up to date evidence on the efficacy, safety and utility of using such innovative medical technology as specialized amino acid formulas. This formula is the targeted medical intervention for food allergies and confirmed cow's milk protein allergy, and particularly for patients with reduced physical growth and development (growth rates included). The material is based on methodological guidelines on the amino acid formulas usage previously developed by specialist experts of the Union of pediatricians of Russia in 2020.

Physical development (RF) is one of the main indicators of health status, largely due to hereditary factors, depends on the living conditions and upbringing, social and environmental factors [1,2,3,4]. This is especially important for children and adolescents in the process of growth and development. At the present stage of scientific research of RF in pediatrics, there is a transition from the analysis of average RF indicators to a personalized assessment [5,6].

The authoritative statement on the "Effects of Cigarette-Smoking on the Fetus and Child" (Pediatrics 57:411, March 1976) is an excellent summary but necessarily brief. With respect to the later growth and development of the children, the statement quotes only one study, which demonstrated no long-term effects of maternal smoking on physical growth and intellectual development through the first seven years of life. We believe that such effects may indeed be demonstrable though slight. In the quoted study, Hardy and Mellits1 established 88 pairs of children of matched smoking and nonsmoking mothers.

This volume is devoted to the proceedings of an international seminar in Zurich organized by the International Children's Centre, and attended by about 112 experts from 26 countries. The seminar was devoted to the growth of the normal child in his first three years. The subjects discussed include the assessment of physical growth, including the growth of fat, body density, muscle, and bone; the assessment of skeletal maturation; the chemistry of growth and development; the early diagnosis of mental deficiency, and the value of developmental tests; and psychological development. It is almost invidious to pick out a few contributions as being of especial value; they would include the papers on "the influence of environment on growth" by Marcel Graffar of Belgium, "nutritional growth" by Dean of Kampala, "the accurate prediction of growth and adult height" by Nancy Bavley of Bethesda, "the growth of fat tissue" by Harold Stuart and co-workers, and "the biochemistry of the child during the first three years" by Tanner of London.
