ANTHROPOMETRIC PARAMETERS OF THE CHEST IN SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN OF TASHKENT CITY
Abstract
Anthropometric examination makes it possible to characterize the individual development of the organism, identify deviations from the norm, determine their causes, and then carry out health-improving and therapeutic measures. The problem of preserving the health of the young population requires an in-depth study of both the physiological mechanisms of adaptation and the morphofunctional characteristics. The identification of morphofunctional and etiological mechanisms of the development of pathological processes in various body systems is a leading problem in theoretical and practical medicine. The child’s body is ontogenetically characterized by a complex of psychophysiological adaptive capabilities, leading to the dynamics of functional processes and the formation of new physiological levels of activity of the organism.
