Abstract
This chapter is devoted to the impact of nutrition on the development and growth of nutritionally dependent diseases in children and the further impact on health protection. The role of mother nutrition in child health is noted. Statistical data on the growth of pathological conditions in newborns, which can be triggered by nutritional factors, are presented. The dependence of a child's health on natural feeding of newborns has been substantiated. On the example of statistical data on the state of health of children from birth to puberty, the dynamics of nutritionally dependent diseases over 11 years has been analyzed. The factors leading to the development of some of the nutritionally dependent diseases and the tendencies of the development of diseases are noted. The purpose of the chapter is to substantiate the role of adequate children's nutrition from birth to puberty in the formation of health for many years.
