The clinical examination of the infants aged 1 year which were born with body mass less than 1500 g and the mature infants was made; they undergone the neonatal care course at the intensive care unit and neonatal intensive care department and at the department of premature infants care (II stage) and newborns pathology of the Institute of Maternity and Childhood by V.N.

It was revealed that infants which were born with body mass less than 1500 g were characterized by higher frequency of somatic pathology and more frequent formation of disability in the first year of life. In such cases the most frequency of somatic pathology and disabilities was revealed in babies with body mass less than 1000 g and it testified to the relationship of the infant health status and this index.
