This confirms the opinion that preschool age is a period of formation of chronic diseases. The study of the functional state of the body of preschoolers, their morbidity in order to assess the impact on these indicators of the conditions of their upbringing, the development and implementation of preventive measures to optimize these conditions are currently an urgent problem.
