State Of The Environment

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.

Hereditary Factors

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 Mean

Physical development of 710 children and adolescents with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) was studied over time. The patients were divided into 3 groups: with growth rate above the 25th percentile of the age norm, with growth rate below the 10th percentile of the norm, and with growth rales between the 10th and 25th percentiles of age norm. Analysis showed that (a) the presence of manifest decompensation higher than 12 %, frequent ketoacidosis episodes is a factor of high risk of reduction of physical development rate in children and adolescents with IDDM; (b) the mean statistical rates of diabetic adolescents growth are characterized by delayed (by 1 to 2 years vs. the norm) pubertal growth skip, and this growth skip in the patients is more levelled and stretched in time, and in some cases is virtually nor manifest; (c) if good compensation is attained and maintained after previous prolonged decompensation, compensating growth rates may develop in patients of both sexes both in childhood and adolescence.

Analytical Review

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.

Background: The innovative form of organizing schooling in the mode of dynamic postures providing for alternation of standing and sitting postures at each lesson is implemented in order to prevent detrimental health effects of the long-term stationary sitting posture, reduce static and educational fatigue, preserve and strengthen health in educational institutions. Our objective was to assess the health status of primary school children studying in dynamic postures. Materials and methods: We assessed the health status of 174 pupils aged 7–10 in the first to third grades of primary school studying in the mode of dynamic postures. The health data was obtained from their personal medical records. The assessment was carried out in accordance with the comprehensive methodology for assessing health of children and adolescents based on the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems. Physical development was measured using regression scales. Results: We established that visual impairment (137.9‰) and musculoskeletal disorders (109.2‰) ranked highest in the structure of functional disorders (FD) among the first to third graders. The prevalence of functional disorders of the circulatory and respiratory system was 86.2‰ and 80.5‰, respectively. Musculoskeletal conditions dominated in the structure of chronic diseases (63.0%), the prevalence being 293.1‰. These were followed by diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue and gastrointestinal diseases with the prevalence rate of 46.0‰ each. The total prevalence of functional abnormalities among the primary school first to third graders was 500.0‰ while the prevalence rate of chronic diseases was 465.5‰. Normal physical development was observed in 82.9% of the subjects. Overweight and obesity were detected in 11% and 0.6% of the children, respectively, while underweight, small and big height were measured in 3.1%, 1.8%, and 0.6% of the children, respectively. Conclusions: The comparative data analysis helped establish lower disease prevalence rates among the children studying in dynamic postures compared to those studying in the seated position. Our findings may serve as a scientific substantiation of efficiency of using the dynamic posture regime in order to maintain and improve health of schoolchildren.

Migrant backstretch workers are comprised of a group of itinerant laborers who care for horses across our nation’s racetracks. This vulnerable and marginalized group of individuals engages in an occupation that places them at considerable risk for developing health-related respiratory illnesses as a result of environmental factors. Workers are routinely exposed to equine dander, saliva, waste, and other environmental hazards, which are contributing factors leading to a decreased health status within this population, particularly as they present with increased incidences of allergies, asthma, and dermatological diagnoses. This article considers this unique population within the context of nurse caring and the environment, and explores the critical nature to which caring as an operationalized construct impacts vulnerable populations working in suboptimal environmental conditions that impart cumulative health risks. The theoretical framework guiding this program is Ray’s Transcultural Caring Dynamics in Nursing and Healthcare Model (Ray, 2010).

Motivation Strategies

This study explores male physicians’ use of verbal compliance gaining strategies to encourage patients to adhere to medication regimens, lifestyle changes, or future appointments, and assesses which strategies are associated with patients’ reported healthcare experiences. Five physicians from a family practice clinic in northern British Columbia, Canada, were audio-recorded while interacting with 31 patients during actual consultations. Compliance-gaining utterances were coded into five categories of strategies, while patient experience with care was assessed using a questionnaire. A number of intriguing findings emerged: direct orders were related to a more negative experience with interpersonal aspects of care, but were fairly frequently used, especially with female patients. Persuasion was the only strategy that promoted a positive patient experience, but was rarely used. However, the effect of persuasion on patient experience was no longer significant when adjusting for patients’ health status. Physicians relied mostly on motivation strategies to encourage adherence, but these strategies were not related to patients’ assessment of their healthcare experiences. These results suggest that the most frequently used verbal compliance gaining strategies by physicians are not always appreciated by patients. To be more effective, it is necessary to inform physicians about which compliance-gaining strategies promote a positive patient healthcare experience.

This article discusses the application of methods to enhance the knowledge of experts to build a decision-making model based on the processing of physical data on the real state of the environment. Environmental parameters determine its ecological state. To carry out research in the field of expert assessment of environmental conditions, the analysis of known works in this field is carried out. The results of the analysis made it possible to justify the relevance of the application of analytical, stochastic models and models based on methods of enhancing the knowledge of experts — experts. It is concluded that the results of using analytical and stochastic objects are inaccurate, due to the complexity and poor mathematical description of the objects. The relevance of developing information support for an expert assessment of environmental conditions is substantiated. The difference of this article is that based on the analysis of the application of expert methods for assessing the state of the environment, a fuzzy logic adoption model and information support for assessing the environmental state of the environment are proposed. The formalization of the parameters of decision-making models using linguistic and fuzzy variables is considered. The formalization of parameters of decision-making models using linguistic and fuzzy variables was considered. The model’s description of fuzzy inference is given. The use of information support for environment state assessment is shown on the example of experts assessing of the land desertification stage.

Leucocyte telomere length (LTL) is a robust marker of biological aging and is associated with obesity and cardiometabolic risk factors in childhood and adolescence. We investigated the effect of a structured, comprehensive, multidisciplinary, personalized, lifestyle intervention program of healthy diet and physical exercise on LTL in 508 children and adolescents (239 males, 269 females; 282 prepubertal, 226 pubertal), aged 10.14 ± 0.13 years. Participants were classified as obese (n = 267, 52.6%), overweight (n = 174, 34.2%), or of normal BMI (n = 67, 13.2%) according to the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) cutoff points and were studied prospectively for one year. We demonstrated that LTL increased significantly after 1 year of the lifestyle interventions, irrespective of gender, pubertal status, or body mass index (BMI). Waist circumference was the best negative predictor of LTL at initial assessment. The implementation of the lifestyle interventions also resulted in a significant improvement in clinical (BMI, BMI z-score and waist to height ratio) and body composition indices of obesity, inflammatory markers, hepatic enzymes, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI), and lipid profile in all participants. These findings indicate that the increased LTL may be associated with a more favorable metabolic profile and decreased morbidity later in life.
