Peculiarities of physical development of preschool children in Irkutsk

Abstract

The article describes the assessment of the physical development (PD) of the children attending preschool educational institution kindergarten N 148 of Irkutsk. It was established that different types of deviations in development had 42.0 % of children from 3 to 7 years. Among deviations in PD of preschool children most frequently we noted high body weight at normal body length (10.1 %); also lowered (8.0 %) and low body length (9.0 %) were established. The results of the examination of Irkutsk preschool children revealed deviations of their PD parameters from normal figures towards reduction of growth and increase in body weight, and also showed that morphometric changes were more characteristic of boys.
