Place of implementation: West Kazakhstan Marat Ospanov Medical University

Relevance: Within the framework of the national project “Quality and affordable healthcare for every citizen” Healthy Nation “, which is being implemented in the country, special attention is paid to preserving and strengthening the health of children. At the same time, great importance is given to the task of ensuring wide coverage of the population with healthcare services, especially in rural areas.

The aim of the project is to study the state of the elemental status of the child population as an indicator of the availability of micronutrients for children and the impact of environmental pollutants, especially in rural areas.

Purpose of the study: To study the elemental status of the child population of the Western region of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Practical significance and novelty: For the first time in Kazakhstan, the influence of elemental status on physical development will be assessed using WHO standards. For the first time, the features of the elemental status of children in rural areas will be revealed. The data obtained during the study will be demonstrated in an online atlas with the visualization of regional differences in the content of elements in children in Western Kazakhstan. The functionality laid down in the development of the online atlas, the flexibility of the technologies with which it will be implemented, make it simple and accessible to the general public.The online atlas will offer children’s elemental status data as interactive, geo-referenced maps, in a simple and understandable way, and will be publicly available. The information obtained will allow substantiating further corrective measures to compensate for the deficiency of micro- and macroelements by the food method.

Results obtained for 2023:

According to the calendar plan, during scientific trips, hair was collected from children and adolescents permanently residing in Martuk, Baiganinsky, Temir, Kargalinsky, Uilsky, Khobdinsky, Mugodzharsky, Irgizsky, Aitekebiysky, Khromtausky, Shalkarsky, Alginsky oblasts of the Aktobe region and in the city of Aktobe. An assessment of the elemental status of children was carried out.

An assessment of the physical development of the child population of the Aktobe region was carried out. Work was carried out to develop maps of the elemental status of the child population of the Aktobe region. The interactive cartogram of the online atlas displays the elemental status of the child population of the Western region of the Republic of Kazakhstan (currently in the Aktobe region). Maps of the elemental status of the child population of the Aktobe region of the Western region of the Republic of Kazakhstan were compiled.
