Abstract
The aim of the study is to establish a trend in the body mass index of schoolchildren in different regions of the country. The study was carried out in 2021 as part of the all-Russian monitoring of the physical development of schoolchildren aged 7–17 years (the number of boys - 30,965, the number of girls - 33,290). The statistical software package Statistica 13 PL has been used for data processing. BMI indicators have been established for Russian schoolchildren. Some regional differences in BMI indicators and the influence of the organization of medical support factor in the region have been shown. The Pearson correlation coefficients between the BMI of schoolchildren and the availability of doctors and nurses per 10,000 of population were -0.63 and -0.39 (p ≤ 0.05). The age and gender standards for BMI for Russian schoolchildren have been updated. A trend towards higher BMI rates in various subjects of the Russian Federation has been revealed, which may be due, among other things, to indicators characterizing the organization of the medical population in the region.
