Distance Mesuring of Physical Activity among Students and Workers of Moscow State University of Medicine and Dentistry

15067 Moscow school-age children and adolescents (6-17 years o ld, 7760 boys, and 7307 girls) were examined. Fro m age of 10-13 years old numbers of girls with underweight growth up to twice. In boys group number of schoolchildren with underweight was just the same. Instead of girls, number of boys with underweight was stable. Nu mber of girls with overweight (without obesity) was higher 20% of population except age 16-17 years old. Peak number of girls with obesity registered in age 8-14 years old. In age 11, 13-14 years old number of g irls with overweight was higher than 25%. Nu mber of boys with overweight (without obesity) was some lo wer then number of girls; it also was near 20% of populations. The highest levels of overweight were registered in age 12-13 years old. Boys' physical develop ment demonstrated to be ahead such of girls. The flexib ility of the boys was reduced in comparison with girls. At the same time the boys had the best indicators of physical develop ment and coordination of movements. With age significantly increased physical performance of school children: it was increasing in flexib ility, in improving speed of visual-motor reaction.

In the Soviet Union, there was one of the most developed medical systems all over the world with the main accent to preventive medicine. The main component of chronic disease prevention was named "dispanserization". It includes nurses, doctor's control, clinic and laboratory methods of investigation one time a year and dynamic control during the year (if it was needed). Perestroika resulted in breakup of the medicine. In 2006, the Ministry of Public Health decided to reconstruct the system of prevention medicine, but it does not work. For example, in Russia, the average duration of life is the lowest in Europe, it does not rank in first hundred of the most development countries anymore; it is on average 12-15 years lower than in Scandinavia. RF is the country with most smokers from all over the world. In 2006, the Ministry of Public Health decided to reconstruct the system of dispanserization. Some of methods of health observation are not supported by evidence-based-medicine. In 2009, the Ministry of Public Health organized the "center for health". But also this system does not work.
