AbstractA system of comprehensive assessment of the level of sanitary-and-epidemiological welfare of educational establishments is proposed for children and adolescents. Its significant criteria have been established. These included the organization of full-value, balanced and rational nutrition at the establishment; organization of the routine and an educational process. The hygienic assessment of the conditions, which was made by the presented scheme, adequately reflects the sanitary epidemiological situation at the orphans' institutions since it takes into account the main index of the sanitary-and-epidemiological welfare--the health status of their children and adolescents. There was a significant correlation between the physical development of orphans and the parameters of sanitary-and-epidemiological welfare at the state institutions for this contingent (r = 0.689). The organization of nutrition at the institution (r = 0.703), the routine and the organization of an educational process (r = 0.689), the volume-planning and designing approaches (r = 0.687), the organization of physical education (r = 0.697), medical support at the institution (r = 0.688) exert the greatest impact on the physical development of children.
