Abstract

The article evaluates the actual nutrition and physical development of women living in the de-occupied territories of Bucha district, Kyiv region. Special attention is paid to the impact of martial law, which has heightened risks to the food security of the local population. One of the indicators for assessing nutritional status is body harmony. Therefore, the study included an examination of the physical development of women. It was noted that due to poor-quality, unbalanced nutrition, a significant number of women over 30 show a tendency toward increased body weight (ranging from 40.0% to 43.8%), as well as class I and class II obesity (40.0% after 40 years, and 22.0% after 60 years). Data obtained through questionnaire-based survey methods showed that the actual nutrition of women did not correspond to rational nutrition—diets are distorted and deficient in basic nutrient content. The most unbalanced diets among women were in terms of bread and grain products—up to 31.4%, meat and meat products—up to 33.9%, milk and dairy products—up to 40.0%, vegetables—up to 25.5%, and fruits—up to 20.0%. At the same time, women consumed an excess of cereals—by 38.0%, potatoes—by 12.2%, and confectionery products—by 30.0%. It is noted that under wartime conditions, the likelihood of consuming local foods potentially contaminated with radionuclides and toxic chemical substances (nitrogen oxides, heavy metals, etc.) increases, which further complicates food security under martial law. The importance of restoring comprehensive monitoring, educational work, and financing programs for the preservation of public health is emphasized.
