PROTECTING WORKS AND HYGIENIC ASSESSMENT OF NUTRITION OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN IN TASHKENT
Among the children of preschool educational institutions, according to the results of medical examinations, only about 20% are healthy, more than 50% have functional abnormalities, and 30% suffer from chronic diseases [3,4]. To a certain extent, this is facilitated by a decrease in the physical activity of children, defects in the organization of nutrition, accompanied by the use of refined foods, easily digestible carbohydrates, which contributes to the development of obesity, diabetes and other health problems in children [1,2,5]. It is well known that many diseases are associated with inadequate intake and imbalance in the body of vital macro- and microelements, primarily calcium, iron, selenium, iodine, zinc, and fluorine.
