The aim of the study is to compare growth characteristics of Mongolian and Kalmykian children and
adolescents. <...> The materials were collected by the authors in 2007-2008 and in 2010–2011 as a result of
anthropological investigations in the cities of Elista (Republic of Kalmykia, Russian Federation) and Ulaanbaatar
(Mongolia). <...> Total number of the investigated children from 9 to 17 years of age was about 2,000. <...> The
program included standard anthropometric measurements (Bunak, 1941), hand grip strength, somatotype
evaluation according to Shtefko-Ostrovsky method. <...> A number of indices were calculated including Body
Mass Index (BMI), absolute and relative fat mass (Slaughther et. al., 1988). <...> Statistical analysis, performed
with the software “Statistica 8.0”, included descriptive statistics, normalization procedure, one-way ANOVA
with Scheffe’s test for multiple comparisons. <...> The results show signifi cant differences between Kalmykian
and Mongolian children in most of the measurements: stature and weight, chest, waist, hip and arm circumferences,
body diameters are bigger in Kalmykian schoolchildren and the differences are stronger in boys. <...> During the whole age period Kalmyks are taller than their Mongolian peers. <...> Mongolian boys at almost all age groups have smaller values of chest
circumference and BMI but surpass Kalmykians in chest depth. <...> Mongolian girls after the age of 13 have
slightly bigger values of chest circumference and BMI, as well as bone diameters. <...> Mongolian boys and girls
have signifi cantly smaller values of skinfold thickness and fat mass. In both ethnic groups the accumulation
of fat layer is bigger on the trunk, particularly in the abdomen area. <...> There were no differences between
Kalmykian and Mongolian adolescents in maturation rates evaluated by the development of secondary sex
characteristics. <...> Key words: growth, physical development, biological age, Kalmykian schoolchildren, Mongolian
schoolchildren, auxology, anthropology
