Influence intrauterine exposure and other factors antenatal risk to health and physical development of the children in the postnatal period ontogenesis
Aim. Rate the effects of prenatal exposure and the effects of other antenatal risk factors for health status and physical development of children and adolescents.Materials and methods. In the dynamics of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant occurred in 1144 children exposed in utero exposure. Assessing the impact of radiation and other antenatal risk factors for the condition of their health and physical development, taking into account the total radiation dose and the dose of the thyroid gland of the fetus.Results and discussion. It was established that the level of health of children exposed in utero at all stages of postnatal ontogenesis was lower than children in the control group. A significant correlation between the presence of chronic somatic diseases in children and the total dose exposure of the fetus. It has been shown that chronic somatic pathology often formed during irradiation of the thyroid gland of the fetus at a dose greater than 0.36 Gy, and impaired physical development often recorded by irradiation of the thyroid gland of the fetus in the dose range of 0.76-1.0 Gy. The highest frequency of disharmonious development was recorded at doses exceeding 1.0 Gy.
