CURRENT TENDENCIES OBSERVED IN MORPHO-FUNCTIONAL PROCESSES IN YOUNG RESIDENTS OF NORTHEASTERN RUSSIA (1975-2014)
Male aboriginals of Northeastern Russia and representatives of European ethnicity who were born in the 1st-2nd generation in Magadan region were examined in 2009 (392 youths aged 17-19 years) and 2014 (265 youths of the same age), and their basic morpho-functional parameters were compared. The study of 2009 demonstrated statistically significant difference between Aboriginal subjects and Europeans in almost all somatometric parameters, whereas the study of 2014 showed that differences between the two examined ethnic groups were marked only in values of height, sitting height, perimeter of chest, and body fat content. The obtained data suggest that average somatometric indices observed in modern Aboriginals and Europeans born in Northeastern Russia are coming closer due to the convergent type of adaptation.
