Abstract

Aim. To study peculiarities and to optimise the micro- and macroelemental status of children during the first year of life, the prenatal development of which fell at a military conflict.

Design. Phase one was a retrospective analysis of medical documents (medical history of a pregnant woman, labour and delivery medical record, infant's record; phase two was comparison of the elemental composition of children's hair.

Materials and methods. The study included 154 children less than a year of age: prenatal development of 81 children fell at a military conflict (study group) and 73 children — during the time of peace (controls). Children in both groups were formula-fed as their mothers had agalactia because of stress caused by military actions. Elemental composition of children's hair was determined using an AAC 2280 Perkin Elmer atomic absorption spectrophotometer (USA); identified diselementosis was corrected with introduction of an adapted and enriched formula, and the analysis was repeated in 6 months.

Results. The first analysis revealed imbalance in micro- and macroelemental composition of children's hair in the study group: lower levels of iron, copper, selenium, magnesium, zinc, manganese and potassium, as well as accumulation of toxic elements — lead, cadmium, chrome. A repeated analysis showed significant optimisation of essential micro- and macroelements, as well as reduction in the level of toxic microelements in children's hair.

Conclusion. Prenatal development during an active military conflict causes diselementosis, which leads to somatic pathologies in children of both neonates and infants. An optimal formula makes it possible to correct elemental imbalances during the first year of child's life.
