[Features of the state of health, including physical development, of adolescent girls living in the middle and high mountains of the Kyrgyz Republic].

Adolescent girls aged 15-18 are in an active process of growth and development, as evidenced by the dynamics of changes in height and weight indicators. Low values of average growth indicators were determined among girls in Batken, on average 2 cm less than the average indicators of girls in Bishkek, however, the statistical analysis performed did not confirm the reliability of these differences. In 84.3% of the surveyed adolescent girls living in Naryn, iron deficiency anemia was detected. Kidney and urinary tract diseases (31.4%) took the first place in the structure of diseases among girls in Batken. Diffuse enlargement of the thyroid gland was found in 13% of women living in highlands. Inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system are two or more times more common among girls in the middle and high mountains than in Bishkek: vulvitis in 8.7-11.4% of cases against 4.1% of cases, urogenital diseases in 6.5-17.4 versus 3.9 respectively. This indicates the need to introduce specific preventive programs for girls living in the middle and high mountains.
