[Hygienic assessment of nutrition in the Primorskiĭ region]

A growing morbidity among the population of the Maritime territory is preconditioned by a worsening social-and-economic situation, and by a sharply falling purchasing capacity of people, which had an absolutely negative effect on the structure of foodstuffs consumption. The qualitatively and quantitatively insufficient nutrition predetermines a deficit of macro- and micronutrient composition of daily ration and its value. Such defects of nutrition have a pronounced negative influence on the population's health and predetermine a high level of diseases of the digestive apparatus.
