Assessment of the physical development of children of indigenous peoples of the North with consideration of morphological and functional parameters

Introduction: the article considers the peculiarities of the physical development of children of indigenous peoples of the North in the newborn period. When assessing the level and harmony of physical development, both morphological and functional indicators were taken into account. Objective: to identify the general and intersex features of the physical development of children of indigenous peoples of the North, taking into account morpho-functional variables. Research materials: a history of a child's development (form 112/y) and a history of newborn development (form 97); statistical collections of the Department of Health of Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Yugra (2002-2021). Results and novelty of the research: for the first time, based on the results of the study, the physical development of newborn indigenous peoples of the North was evaluated using the calculated index of physical development. The physical development of 103 newborn children (0-10 days old, according to the age periodization scheme adopted at the VII All-Union Conference on Problems of Age Morphology, Physiology and Biochemistry of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences in Moscow, 1965) of indigenous peoples of the North was analyzed (52 boys and 51 girls). The prevalence of children with an average rate of physical development among newborns of both sexes was established. Morpho-functional indicators of children correspond to the good adaptability of indigenous population to the climatic and geographical conditions of the Middle Ob region. Data on the birth rate and natural growth of indigenous peoples of the North in Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug during the period 2002-2021 also indicate the stability of the population.
