. Prenatal period is an important starting pointof accumulation of minerals in the bones. The determination ofthe bone mineral density levels in a mother and a newborn andthe relationship between these indicators are important issuesof the present time.Objective is to assess the condition of the bone mineraldensity in full-term newborns depending on the bone mineraldensity of their mothers of different ages. Our case studiesmothers between 13 and 43 years of age and their newborns.Materials and methods: The research design presumedthe study of 79 newborns between 48 and 72 hours of agesimultaneously with their mothers between 13 and 43 yearsof age, who were presumably healthy and have been livingin Zaporizhzhia region. The study was carried out using anultrasonic bone sonometer "Sunlight Omnisense 9000", whichquantitatively measures the ultrasound velocity (SOS, m / s)characterizing the corresponding bone mineral density.Results. The highest SOS (speed of sound) levels werefound in newborns born from mothers aged 13-17 years and18-20 years - 3156 [3024; 3232], m / s and 3215 [3127; 3316],m / s, respectively (p 0.05) with high SOS levels of their children.Whereas the SOS indicators 4242 [4204; 4469], m / s in agroup of women aged 31–43 years had a moderate negativecorrelation with SOS levels 3006 [2897; 3041], m / s of theirnewborn children (p<0.05).Conclusions. We found out that the SOS indicatorsin children born from mothers of different age groups aresignificantly different (p <0.05): higher rates were found innewborns born from mothers aged 13-20 years. There was nostatistically significant difference in the SOS indicators inmothers between 13-20 years of age and their newborns, incomparison with women aged 18-20 years and their newbornbabies. At the same time, it was found out that only babies bornfrom mothers of the age group 31-43 years had an increase inthe SOS levels accompanied by a significant decrease in theseindicators in their mothers
