The comparative analysis of increase and development (length and weight) of group of students of the same age, examined on of strictly identical program in 1996–1998 and 2005–2006 was carried out. The 9 aged students of Moscow schools were examined (274 boys, 243 girls). The estimation of physical development according to the scales of the regression of mass against the length made it possible to establish that in physical development of 9 aged Moscow students within the taken period the specific changes have occurred, these changes have sufficiently clear features of sexual dimorphism. The proportion of children with normal physical development decreased, besides, this decrease is real statistically and in principal it occurs due to tripling currency of overweight (р<0.05). Represented data do not let us speak about the real connection of changes in the physical development of children at the beginning ХХI of century with the positive demographic shifts.
