The article presents the data on the sex and age dynamics of the cardiovascular parameters in 1693 boys and 1757 girls of Gomel aged 7-17, examined within 2010-2012. Based on the data, centile tables were made up to assess the levels of systolic and diastolic pressure and heart rate. It was found out, that the periods of the maximum increase of the systolic pressure level in boys was recorded at the end of puberty, and in girls - before its beginning. The level of diastolic pressure considerably increased in the city schoolchildren of the both sexes at the end of the puberty period. The decrease of the heart rate was most considerably observed in boys aged 12-13, and in girls aged 9-10. The parameters of systolic pressure correlated more with the anthropometric features of body than the parameters of diastolic pressure and the heart rate.
