Description
Summary:Here we analyze the data on the actual nutrition of schoolchildren in different geographical regions. In many areas, they consume insufficient amounts of meat and meat products, milk and dairy products, fish, eggs, vegetable oil, potatoes, fruits and vegetables, yet having excessive consumption of bread, pasta and confectionery. Currently, it is established that many children have already formed irrational stereotypes of food choices at the time of admission to the primary school, and their further nutrition remains unbalanced. The lack of vitamin intake is year-round, and therefore the overall situation can be considered as a polyhypovitaminosis. This may be associated with low socioeconomic status or inappropriate food consumption pattern, additionally affected by regional features. Efficient preventive measures require the development of a unified system of social and hygienic monitoring of the organization of schoolchildren nutrition at the regional level, accompanied by annual in-depth data analysis.
