ABSTRACT:     The purpose of the study is to study the nutritional characteristics, the content of ME in the diet to clarify the etiology of IDA, the role of trace elements in its development with the study of red blood indicators in families living in the Karaulbazar district of Bukhara region. 50 families were examined: husband, wife and female children. In order to facilitate the analysis of the results obtained, the husbands and wives were aged 30 to 45 years, the children were girls aged 12 to 17 years. The ME content was determined in erythrocytes and blood serum, in tap water, and irrigation water. Thus, only men had a relatively prosperous picture. Grade II-III IDA was observed with almost the same frequency in both mothers and their daughters, respectively: 75-78,5%, 20-21,4%. Rather roughly estimated the volume of consumption per week and divided it into 7 days and the number of family members. Despite this, the deficit turned out to be significant for such products as meat, milk, bread, eggs, fruits. This served as the basis for convincing them of the need for proper nutrition and the appointment of ME containing Vitrum prenatal forte preparations. Thus, in order to exclude the entry of toxic ME into the body, it is advisable to recommend the use of mineral water in food instead of tap water, especially during pregnancy. The above gives grounds for the need to correct the ME composition of the body with the necessary ME, not only by increasing the volume and quality of food, but also the use of medications containing ME.
