Title: Characteristic of Morphometric Parameters of the Spine Column in Girls and Boys 0-7 Years Old
Abstract: The aim was to study the length parameters of the spinal column in a comparative aspect depending on gender and age in children under 8 years of age. It was found that the parameters of the spinal column in healthy girls and boys aged 0-7 years change abruptly, depending on the period of development of children. In early childhood, there was a rapid growth of the spinal column in girls 0-7 years old than in boys of the same age. The ratios of morphometric indicators of various parts of the spinal column changed with age - in the early period of childhood they were noted in the cervical and lumbar regions, and in the second period of childhood they were more pronounced in the thoracic and sacral regions of the spinal column. It has been proven that the length of the thoracic spine is more than half of the total length of the spinal column. Of all parts of the spinal column, the thoracic part in the first year of life and in subsequent years increased at a high rate, this is due to the development of the organs of the thoracic cavity and their functions.
