Abstract

We have examined 197 male students in the age interval from 18 till 26 years old who came in Russia from countries of Central and Southern Africa, Central and Southern America, Central and Southern Asia. We made an anthropometrical examination and countered the correlation between components of body mass. Nutrition is one of the most important ecological permanent factors that influences on the correlation of body mass components. This factor is conditioned by geographic and climate peculiarities and also by economic and social life of populations. The analysis of received data about the distribution of the levels of physical development revealed the prevalence of normal meanings of body mass. Among students from Central and Southern Africa there was revealed 24.65% with the lack of body mass. This fact can be explained by acclimatization to the life conditions in the largest megalopolis. Students from Central and Southern Asia have similar problems with lack of body mass (18.29%). Students from Central and Southern America don’t have lack of body mass. These students as well as Asian students have inclination to corpulence (conformable 67.23% and 53.42%). The results of our investigation have a definite importance for further development of adaptation aspects of human organism to the environment.
