Morbidity parameters in children aged 0–17 years have been analyzed based on results of prophylactic medical examinations conducted in Ekaterinburg between 2013 and 2019. The prophylactic medical examination coverage of pediatric population, distribution among the health status groups and frequency of regular medical check-ups have been studied. In 2019 versus 2013, children aged 0–17 years demonstrated a 1.6-fold increase in overall morbidity, and 2.3-fold increase in primary-care morbidity. In 2013–2017, a higher level of overall morbidity was found in children aged 15–17 years compared to children 0–4 years of age, owing to the emergence of newly diagnosed diseases. It was noted than the most frequently diagnosed diseases included diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue, diseases of the eye and eye appendages, diseases of nervous system, digestive system, endocrine system, nutritional disorders and metabolic disorders. Each year, based on results of prophylactic medical examinations, the proportion of children for whom the outpatient examination has been recommended amounts to 9.5%, outpatient treatment to 35.0%, and outpatient medical rehabilitation to 9.3%. The fraction of healthy children as of 2019 was 23.1% of all examined children. In 2019 the coverage for medical check-ups at the health facilities was 605.6 per 1000 children, that is 1.8 times higher than that in 2013 (334,0 per 1000 children).

The article presents an analysis of fundamental data on the problem of stress and its role in the development of stressful diseases. Scientific evidence on the role of stress in childhood pathology indicates the extreme pathogenetic significance of stress. It is proved that stress has three interconnected faces: stress as a link in the adaptation mechanism, stress as a link in the pathogenesis of diseases and adaptation to stressful situations as a natural prevention of stressful diseases. The scientific substantiation of the main evolutionarily determined role of stress as an adaptation link indicates the possibility of acquiring some degree of resistance to stressful situations. Prevention of reducing the excess of stress reactions and reducing the possibility of its transformation into a link in the pathogenesis of diseases limits the complex of mechanisms designated as a stress-limiting system. Important information is the development and coordination of the stress response, which is provided by a complex set of mechanisms of neuroendocrine regulation, united by the concept of “stress-implementing system”. The most common forms of stress are fetal hypoxia, metabolic disturbances, and toxic effects leading to uncontrolled oxidative stress at the cellular and tissue levels with the development of pregnancy complications, intrauterine growth retardation syndrome (IUGR), persistent changes and pathological conditions. As the fetus grows, the flow of oxygen and nutrients from the mother through the placenta increases, which is accompanied by an increased risk of the formation of pathologies of the brain, heart, liver and kidneys with the development of a multi-organ pathology in the subsequent life. It has been proven that oxidative stress combined with stress of malnutrition in the prenatal period increases the risk of endocrinopathies, kidney diseases, and a number of other chronic diseases in the adult state. In practical terms, the negative effects of stress are of particular interest. Early detection of psychosocial and sympathomimetic factors causing stress is the basis for the prevention of childhood pathology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
