The purpose of the article is to assess the dynamics of the prevalence of risk factors for the health of children of the studied ages from the father's side: to present the classification of risk factors for the health of children from 0 to 7 years old on the father's side according to monitoring data; to conduct an inter cohort analysis of the prevalence of health risk factors in children aged 1 to 7 years from 1998 to 2020. It was found that, despite a significant decrease in the proportion of male fathers with behavioral, physiological, socio-demographic, occupational-related and psychological risk factors for the child's health from 1998 to 2020, quantitative indicators remain quite high. The results can be used in the development of health protection programs for adults and children at different levels of government: individual, local, regional, country.
