There are presented results of a study of the health state and the quality of life of 197 children aged 2 to 4 years, obtained with the use of the PedsQL ™ 4.0 questionnaire, which allows assessing physical, emotional, social and role functioning. All respondents equally assessed the quality of life of often ill children to be low on all scales. The analysis of the obtained data showed the dependence of the health state and quality of life of children on a wide range of socio-hygienic, material and economic, medical and biological factors: unsatisfactory material and living conditions, the high incidence in neonates, early change for formula feeding, the irrational use of antibiotics and immunomodulators. The revealed negative factors and deviations in health after frequent respiratory diseases determine a significant decrease in the quality of life of often ill children.
