Obstructive bronchitis (OB) is one of the most common causes of hospitalization in young children. Respiratory diseases are one of the important problems of pediatrics, since so far, despite the successes achieved, they occupy one of the leading places in the structure of childhood morbidity - according to official statistics, 50-73%. One indicator of health status is physical development, which is an important indicator of mental and somatic health. In domestic and foreign practice, it is customary to determine normal physical development and deviations from it on the basis of two indicators of body length and mass-growth index (BMI). The identification of deviations from the standard values of the child's body length and weight, as well as the BMI characteristic of each age period, is the simplest and most accessible method for a practical doctor to assess early signs of health problems. On the other hand, approaching the norm of physical development indicators to a certain age period can be, together with other clinical and laboratory signs, a criterion for reducing the severity of the chronic disease and the effectiveness of the treatment.
