Abstract: The article presents the results of the study of individual indicators of physical development of babies before and after the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (NPP).
Established evidence of associations between various indicators of physical development of newborns (weight and body length) and the influence of complex factors resulting from the accident. In newborn boys and girls after the accident (1987) established the same changes — namely, reducing weight and body length as compared to those with avariyi. For final confirmation of this fact need similar studies in other time periods after the accident.
