Bearing structure and vertebral deformations in children of the Far North
A total of 4350 children of indigenous and nonindigenous population of the Far North were examined by computer optical topography. They were divided into 3 groups: 500 children - the indigenous population: the Khanty, Mansi, Nenets, who live in rural areas, 450 - aborigines living in urban areas, 3400 people - the non-indigenous children (migrants). Distinctive features in the bearing form and in prevalence of vertebral deformations were revealed. The indigenous population has the expressed cross-section sizes of a trunk and good indicators of a bearing, children of migrants - a trunk with the expressed longitudinal sizes and the worst indicators of a bearing. Prevalence of a scoliosis in I group - 3,4 %, in II - 5,1 %, and in III - 9,3 %.
