Пищевой статус сельских детей Севера Европейской части РФ и Сибири (по данным антропометрии)
The study presents the assessment of nutritional status of 2,612 schoolchildren (6-17 y.o.) from the rural areas of the Komi Republic (RK), Tyva Republic (RT), Murmansk Region (MR), and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Region (KMAR) based on the values of body mass index (BMI). The percentage of children whose nutritional status was considered normal was 84.6 % in RT and 69.2-73.4 % in the other regions. Undernourished subjects took 5.5 % in KMAR and less than 3 % elsewhere. Only 13.5 % of Tyva participants had BMI values above the norm, while in all the other study groups it was 23.9-26.6 % . In RK and MR, the distribution of children between nutritional statuses was similar in a village, a district center, and a big city. Tyva citizens as well as the residents of big settlements in KMAR comprised an increased proportion of both underweight and overweight subjects.
