Abstract

Preservation of health of pupils remains a pressing problem in Ukraine today. The poor health of adolescents is due to the growth of school and social pressures, but also it is necessary to take into account the initial level of health of schoolchildren and their families at all. In order to determine risk of developing the most common multifactor diseases in future and developing methods of prevention the clinical and genealogical analysis of 67 probands (high schoolchildren) was done. It was found that in the pedigrees of both groups the pathology of cardiovascular (ischemic heart disease, hypertension, myocardial infarction, varicose disease), nervous system and sensory systems (stroke, vascular dystonia, encephalopathy, myopia, cataracts) and gastrointestinal tract (chronic gastritis, bile-stone disease, tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, etc.) dominated. Also has a high percentage of the pathology of musculoskeletal system and endocrine diseases. According to the results of the survey were developed individual memo for high school students to preserve the health of the family, which included recommendations in accordance with the identified multifactor pathology in the pedigree.
