This study investigates the relationship between anthropometric indicators of children in the Fergana Valley and their type of feeding. A total of 450 children aged 0 to 5 years, who were breastfed, formula-fed, or received mixed feeding, were examined. Body weight, body length, head circumference, and chest circumference were assessed in accordance with WHO standards. It was found that children on formula feeding were more likely to be overweight and experience growth delays compared to breastfed children. Differences in the distribution of height and weight indicators were established depending on age and sex. The obtained results confirm the significance of feeding type as a factor in physical development. The study emphasizes the need to strengthen measures supporting breastfeeding in the region.
