Results. 5490 children and/or their parents (12,5%) reported joint pain, 754 children (1,7%) - swelling. In general pain and swelling were revealed in 5533 children (12,6%). Joint pain and swelling prevalence was higher in urban than in country population. Joint pain predominated in girls, swelling - in boys. Swelling and pain frequency increased with age.
