Abstract:
This study is devoted to examining the physical development
indicators and morbidity rates among post-term infants. Based on the
analysis conducted among 94 children, it was found that 61.7% were boys
and 38.3% were girls. Significant deviations were observed in
anthropometric parameters of height and weight: 59% of children showed
minimal deviations, while 23% had maximal deviations. According to the
data on morbidity, the most common diseases were respiratory tract
infections (60%) and rickets (56%). In addition, gastrointestinal disorders,
anemia, allergic, and congenital diseases were also identified. The results of
the study indicate that the level of physical development and susceptibility
to diseases in post-term infants are directly related to the quality of nutrition
and care conditions.
