Aim. To find out peculiarities of somathometric characteristics, in early adolescence living in the Krasnodar territory and Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (KBR). Material and Methods. Data of body height, weight, arterial blood pressure and pulse in 140 children (70 girls and 70 boys) at the age of 13.2±1.6 years living in Kabardino-Balkarian Republic and also 137 children (70 boys and 67 girls) at the age of 13.4±0.1 years living in the Krasnodar territory are collected and subjected to the statistical analysis. The due number of cardia contraction, body surface, level of the stress were started by the formula developed by Yu. R. Sheykh-Zade. Statistical material was processed by method of variation statistics within the StatSoft Statistica 10.0 program. Results and Discussion. The carried-out statistical analysis has proved that in the thirteen-year old boys living in KBR in comparison with inhabitants of various districts the Krasnodar territory lower anthropometric parameters were revealed: body weight (respectively, 47.63±1.75 and 52.56±1.02 kg), body surface (respectively, 14279.54±176.54 and 15109.95±181.67 cm2), index of body weight (respectively, 19.12±0.21 and 20.43±0.30 c.u.). In the thirteen-year old girls living in KBR in comparison with inhabitants of the Krasnodar territory lower physiological parameters were revealed: appropriate heart rate (respectively, 68.31±0.54 and 70.78±0.39 min-1), stress resistance index (respectively, 1.14±0.23 and 1.28±0.05 c.u.). Conclusions. Gender differences of anthropometric and physiological parameters in early adolescence were stated comparing the regions (the Krasnodar territory and KBR).
