Abstract

Introduction. In today's context, a scale of noncommunicable diseases is worrying today, demonstrating a growing trend and negative impact on the public health. Problem of safe and accessible drinking water is attracted worldwide attention nowadays, since use of poor drinking water can lead to the infectious and non-communicable diseases with serious consequences. Aim of research: to study health status among the children in connection with a prolonged exposure of drinking water from decentralized systems. Materials and methods. The prevalence rates of diseases among children of rural areas were studied according to the statistical reports in Dnipropetrovsk region health information center from 2008 to 2013 using statistical form № 12 (totally 220 reports). The distribution of rural areas in the region was based on the cluster analysis. The horizontal dendrogram showing similarity between the research areas in a multidimensional space. Cluster analysis includes 2 groups of rural districts in Dnipropetrovsk region. Results. It is established that with increase of pH> 7.5-7.6 in water of decentralized systems decreased the prevalence in the majority of nosologies: diseases of the blood and hematopoietic organs (rS=0,331; p<0,001), musculoskeletal system (rS=-0,174; p<0,001), anemia (rS=-0,331; p<0,001), congenital anomalies (rS=-0,272; p=0,002) among children population. Conclusions. Among those children, who consumed drinking water from wells with content of some essential trace elements on the limits of MPC: 71% did not suffer from chronic diseases of the circulatory system (Fe >0.144 mg/dm3); 59% did not suffer from the diseases of digestive system (Cu >0.089 mg/dm3), and 60% had no congenital abnormalities of circulatory system (Mn > 0.099 mg/dm3).
