In this work, the goal is to get better acquainted with the clinical picture of anemia in chronically anemic schoolchildren and to investigate the relationship of the disease with some social and living conditions of children. For this, we took 2 Russian schools of the first stage, located in the same district of the city, but different in the social composition and living conditions of students, with a total of about 300 children who were under our supervision during the entire school period (1-4 years). Of these, children with a pronounced pallor of the skin and mucous membranes, observed for at least a year, were selected, who were allocated to the group of chronically anemic children, and an equal group of other children was taken to compare with them, from which a group of healthy children who showed a good complexion during throughout school life.
