The spread of rickets in connection with the living conditions of a Tatar child

The study of the living conditions of previously oppressed peoples in the struggle for a healthy life, for the education of a physically healthy young generation is a great socio-political task of today. I think that the fact of the huge influence of living conditions on the development of social. diseases, including rickets, is indisputable. There is still no exhaustive material in the literature on elucidating the role of everyday life in the etiology of rickets among children of the Tatar population, except for the works of Krever, Tushnov, Basyr, Agafonov. In 1931, in the Mamadysh district of the Tatrespublika, I monitored the spread of rickets both in the consultation of the town of Mamadysh and when traveling for this purpose to neighboring Tatar villages to examine children at home and in collective farm nurseries. I examined 387 children. Of these, 211 are boys and 176 are girls.
