Introduction. Providing medical care for orphans and children in difficult life situations is a crucial aspect of pediatric work, considering the social priorities of the country's state policy. The present study focuses on the dynamics of physical development indicators in such children based on prophylactic medical examinations conducted in the Arkhangelsk region.Methods. The study was an epidemiological observational dynamic study that involved calculating the prevalence of deviations in physical development, odds estimates, xi-square for a linear trend, and p in the Epi Info program. The study population consisted of children aged 0-17 years who underwent medical examinations between 2016 and 2020.Results. The study found that 75.7% to 74.1% of children had normal physical development, with 11.31% to 11.34% being underweight and 3.5% to 7.7% having excess body weight. Low growth was observed in 16.6% to 11.3% of children, and high growth was noted in 2.3% to 2%. Significant differences were observed in age groups and types of deviations.Conclusion. The study revealed multidirectional changes in the indicators of physical development of orphans and children in difficult life situations, with short stature being the predominant deviation in all age groups. Therefore, it is crucial to provide timely medical attention and intervention to ensure proper growth and development of these children.
