The paper presents the analysis results of the anthropometric and functional indicators of childrenbetween the ages of 7 and 12 years who permanently reside in Surgut. All surveyed schoolchildren (181persons – 95 boys and 86 girls) were divided by age and sex. The main anthropometric and functionalindicators of the cardiovascular system were analyzed. We established that the growth and developmentof the examined boys and girls corresponded to general biological patterns. It was found that most of theboys have various deviations from normal body weight: the presence of overweight and obesity wererecorded in 50 per cent of cases, body weight deficit was determined in 12 per cent of cases. Normalbody weight was recorded most often in the group of girls (85 per cent). The stress adaptationmechanisms was characteristic of every third pupil. We found a high percentage of the stress occurrencefrequency in all schoolchildren, but girls had it more common than boys. The obtained data once againconfirmed the importance of early diagnosis of the cardiovascular system state for determining theorganism adaptation level to adverse social and climatic conditions.
