Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate body component composition of healthy and ill children starting from their birth up to 3 years. The results of skin fold caliper measurements of 272 healthy children and 357 children with perinatal encephalopathy are presented. In healthy children, the ratio of lean and fat mass is equal to 4.0. Fat depots of girls are larger than those of boys. In ill children, body fat reserves are diminished and sex-related differences of body composition are absent. The shorter was the period of intrauterine development, the lower is the fat content in the child's body. Among the ill children, the best indexes of body composition were found in patients with hypoxic encephalopathy, and the worst ones - in children with fetal alcohol syndrome.
