INFANT MORTALITY AS THE INDEX OF THE STATUS OF HEALTH OF CHILDREN UNTIL YEAR IN THE CONDITIONS OF MILITARY ACTIONS IN DONBASS
Bearing of pregnancy in depressive conditions of hostilities in the Donbas, generating «fear», «anxiety», which forms chronic stress, the level of biological reliability of newborns can not adequately protect against environmental conditions, and enable them to adapt quickly and reliably to them.Purpose of work. To study the inﬂ uence of external factors on infant mortality in the Donbas (social, biological, degree of air pollution) by identifying the main of them. Theoretically justify the possible consequences of military action.The methods of «copy-pair» and expert estimations were applied. This allowed in numerical expressions to estimate the degree of inﬂ uence of the above-mentioned external media characteristics. Biological factors were key in their impact on infant mortality in the neonatal period; social - in older age groups. The air pollution factor had an «indirect effect» through the health of the mother. Further study is subject to the factor of war.Given the importance of social, biological, medical care for infant mortality, the factor of war is subject to scientiﬁ c study, forming «fear» and «anxiety» in the situation of pregnancy, which can not affect the level of biological reliability of the fetus and its adaptive force already in the environment
