The characteristic of physical development of the population under influence of the anthropogenic factors
Journal Title: Health Problems of Civilization - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Having analyzed features of physical development of the teenagers in a zone of the radiation control and intensive agriculture, in comparison with the teenagers from ecologically clean regions, it is necessary to note, that the parameters of proportionality do not fall outside the limits of the established age norms. It is possible to explain their decrease [at the expense of reduction of weight in the majority examinees] by intensive growth of a skeleton in length and smaller rates of muscles development. We have not revealed essential differences of the parameters depending on the residence of the examinees. As to the adults, weight-growth parameters of the men from the zone of the radiation control exceed reference parameters (due to the greater height, weight and thorax measurements). All examinees of the control group and men, engaged in agrarian sector, belong to a normal type, and the women of the last group have the lowest weight and height parameters.
