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 future of the country is determined by health status of the younger generation. The child body reacts most quickly to all external factors, both positive and negative. According to the indicators of physical development and the health status of the child population, it is possible to judge the socio-hygienic and economic wellbeing, the state of the environment in the region. Indicators of the physical development of children and adolescents are a combination of morphological and functional properties of the organism, characterizing the process of their growth and maturation, endurance to any changes in environmental conditions, lifestyle. In childhood and adolescence, individual indicators of physical development are constantly changing, reflecting the influence of the totality of environmental factors, the nature of nutrition, lifestyle. Changes in morbidity rates are not linear, but there are periods of some decrease in the prevalence of functional disorders and chronic diseases and periods of their rapid increase. The work revealed patterns of changes in the physical development of children and adolescents aged 7 to 17 years, which have occurred during the 2008–2017 period. We have made a prognosis of the changes in the parameters on the further physical development of children and adolescents over the next 10 years.

The article highlights one of the current issues of pediatrics - the study of the dynamics of Physical Development (PD) in children and adolescents. The numerous methods of assessment are used. The methods contain one-dimensional, two-dimensional and / or trimeric indicators. They do not fully give an idea of the level of the child's PD and do not reflect the patterns of his growth and development. In some cases, a pediatrician at the outpatient stage requires a comprehensive assessment of PD including age determination and compliance of biological age with the real age, determination of the PD harmony, somatotype determination, assessment of the direction of growth and development along with the calculation of indexes, functional state assessment, assessment of the degree of fat deposition or bioimpedance measurement, which allows determining the risk group. The assessment of PD indicators must be carried out according to regional tables.

The article studies and analyzes the scientific works of leading specialists in hygiene of children and adolescents on search electronic databases (Web of Science, PubMed, eLIBRARY and Research Gate) according to the keywords: Physical development, Teenagers, Educational institutions, Intra-school environment. Of the 277 sources found, the authors selected 115, taking into account the keywords, after an analysis of the selected literature, 49 sources were included in the present study in accordance with the topic of the work. It has been established that social, biological and environmental factors have the most effective influence on physical development. It has been determined that the school environment plays a large role in the formation of the physical status where the child spends most of his day. There are contradictory information about the influence of various forms of education on the state of health: in educational institutions of an innovative type of healthy children, there were 2.3 %, in ordinary schools — 10.1 %. However, according to other authors, higher anthropometric indicators were characteristic of students of educational institutions of the new type.


The article presents the results of scientific research on the growth and development of Tograikhan (Origanum tytthanthum Gontsch) in the climatic conditions of Termez, Surkhandarya region, seed germination and the impact of environmental factors on the plant, the ether of the plant oil and medicinal properties.

The performed analytical review of literature on constitutional features of the formation of morphological status in the peripubertal period of ontogenesis has found that somatometric indicators of schoolchildren living in different urban-ecological conditions statistically significantly differ but the identified trends in the physical development of children and adolescents are often contradictory. There is lack of synthesizing data that characterize the somatic status of different body type representatives among urban schoolchildren in Belarus, although these data are important for the assessment of the health status of children cohorts.

The quality of a child can be judged from the process of growth and development. The process of growth and development is the result of the interaction of genetic factors and environmental factors. Genetic/hereditary factors are factors related to genes originating from the father and mother, while environmental factors include the biological, physical, psychological, and social environment. Growth and development have increased rapidly at an early age, from 0 to 5 years. This period is often referred to as the "Golden Age" phase. Vitamin A is one of the vitamins that functions for the development and performance of various organs of the body, such as the eyes, skin, reproductive organs, and the immune system. To prevent vitamin A deficiency in toddlers, the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia conducts a program of providing vitamin A through posyandu. Based on the various solutions to the activities mentioned above, the output targets to be achieved in this program are formulated, including scientific publications and increasing parental knowledge. Types of counseling with participatory methods in Monitoring Growth and Giving Vitamin A to Toddlers. The activity was carried out in July at the Posyandu Kenanga, Mampir Village, Kec. Cileungsi, Bogor Regency. The results of this series of community service activities and parents turned out to be quite satisfactory, both in terms of mastery of the material that had been given. Participants' understanding was seen during the discussion on growth and development and giving Vitamin A questions and answers. It can be concluded that the counseling went well, parents were enthusiastic about the number of participants who attended and hoped that this activity could continue

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the thyroid volume (Tvol) and to explore factors that affects it among 12 to 15-year-olds attending a rural middle school in east Hangzhou, China.MethodsA cross-sectional survey of middle school students attending a rural middle school in east Hangzhou, China was conducted. Height, weight and other physical development related indicators in middle school students were measured. The thyroid size was measured using ultrasound, and the thyroid volume calculated.ResultsThe median (P25, P75) of the thyroid volume in 596 middle school students from a rural middle school in east Hangzhou, China was 6.69 (5.66, 7.98) mL. Our study enrolled 305 male students (51.2%) and 291 female students (48.8%). The height, weight and thyroid volume of middle school students increased with age. Univariate analysis revealed that height, weight, body mass index (BMI) and body surface area (BSA) were positive correlated with thyroid volume (p<0.01).The correlation between BSA and thyroid volume was significant (Spearman’s rho=0.473, p<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that BSA was positive and significantly correlated with the thyroid volume (p<0.05). Regression equation was Y=−2.532 + 6.186×BSA.ConclusionThe thyroid volume is not only affected by age, but it is also affected by growth and development. Goiter cannot only be assessed based on age, gender and thyroid volume. However, this study established that BSA not only presented the strongest correlation with thyroid volume (Spearman’s rho=0.473), but also had a strong correlation with physical development, taking into account the growth and development of middle school students, and showed greater stability. Therefore, we recommend inclusion of BSA as a reference standard in the measurement of the thyroid volume.
