Abstract
School-age children are a distinct population group characterized by intense physical, psychological and social change, which makes them extremely vulnerable to adverse environmental factors. Changes towards greater independence coupled with a propensity to experiment with new lifestyles and activities create new health risks.
The classic method for screening the health of school children and youth is systematic health examinations, which are organized in public health institutions by the services of preventive health care and preventive dental care of school children. Program for systematic examinations of students in the R. N. Macedonia for 2018 is published in the Official Gazette of the R.N. Macedonia, no. 17 of 26.1.2018.
The main objective of this program is to provide conditions for the preservation and promotion of the health of all school-age children and students through prevention and early detection of health risks and health disorders.
Expected results: performance indicators - volume of completed systematic reviews (over 90%)
Estimation of the number of students for 2018 year: the number of students who need to be systematically reviewed in 2018 was obtained from the Ministry of Education and Science.The number of students to be systematically reviewed in 2018 is obtained from the Ministry of Education and Science.
The total number of students (primary and secondary) as well as students covered by systematic examinations is 136,873.
The findings of the systematic review are recorded in the Cardboard for Systematic Reviews of School Children, prepared by the Institute for Maternal and Child Health Protection. Discrepancies are recorded on the cardboard by taking appropriate remedial and monitoring measures.
The purpose of this paper is to show the prevalence of bodily deformities among the young population on the territory of the City of Skopje.
Tasks:
•To analyze the prevalence of physical deformities among children in the municipality of Skopje.
•Classify body deformities: spinal column (in frontal and sagittal plane), chest, feet, knees.
• To show the prevalence of body deformities by sex, age and proportion.
• Develop a plan and program for correction and rehabilitation of physical deformities in children.
Statistical data for the representation of physical deformities of the spinal column in the City of Skopje are obtained from the archive of the Institute of Public Health of R.N. Macedonia.
Conclusion: Following the alarming data obtained from the Annual Report on the systematic examinations of the students in the R.N. Macedonia in 2018, that every third child has a curved spine, chest or flat feet, the ministries of health and education have decided that physical education teachers should be trained how to train students with scoliosis. Students with verified spine curvature will perform the necessary exercises 20 minutes from class time, and the teacher is responsible for educating students on how to properly sit and hold the body. It remains to be seen how this will be implemented on the ground.
