Deficiency of calcium intake in modern children is mainly due to inadequate consumption of milk and dairy products. Calcium deficiency is especially important in children with the pathology of the musculoskeletal system. On the basis of the Center for Outpatient Traumatology and Orthopedics of the Children’s Republican Clinical Hospital of the Ministry of Health of the RT, 485 children aged 6 to 18 years were examined. Bone mineral density was determined using the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) method. Disturbance of bone mineral density was more often detected in children of secondary school age (44,6%, p < 0,05). Analysis of the amount of milk and dairy products included in the daily diet showed that only 13,6% (66 children) consume sufficient quantities. It was found that the supply of calcium for most children was below the recommended daily intake rate.

Key words: pathology of the musculoskeletal system, schoolchildren, gastro-intestinal tract diseases, calcium, milk.
