DISEASE AND PHYSICAL CHARATERISTICS OF CHILDREN IN THE FAMILIES IMMIGRATED TO AGENT ORANGE SPRAYED REGIONS

Medical history and anthropometry were investigated in 614 children, aged 6-16, which were offspring of migrants to the Agent Orange sprayed areas. The 435 children of families living in the North were studied as the control. The results showed that disease profiles varied between two groups, especially, in the study group the proportions of children suffered from diseases classified in chapters of ICD-10 “Mental and behavioral disorders” and “Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities” were significantly higher. Comparing to the controls anthropological indexes of the study group were lower with means of weight, height, Body Mass Index and chest circumference were significantly lower in some certain ages, in contrary index Steny was significantly higher than the control group. We concluded that comparing to the children in the North, the offspring of migrants in Agent Orange sprayed regions hightly risked getting dioxin associated diseases and were in more physical development sluggish.
