World War, and later kept stable at 0.3–0.4, mostly due to relative stabilization of interfamily variation in fertility
(family planning and birth control, predominantly by means of medical abortions). <...> Component due to differential
prereproductive mortality, Im, has shown a 50-fold decrease during the 20th century as a result of social
progress and improvements in medical care, and nowadays attained negligible values (<0.03). <...> It means that in
these urban populations process of selection relaxation, with respect to both components – If and Im, has been
almost completed. <...> An important predictable consequence of selection relaxation is an increase of population
genetic load, which implies further development of genetic counseling. <...> Intensity of intergroup selection (based on
interethnic variation in birth rates within each megalopolis), is many times lower than that of intragroup selection
(interfamily variation), and also tends to decrease, presumably, as a result of demographic transition – changes
of migrant’s reproductive behaviour in urban environment. <...> Judging by 1926 census data, at that time interethnic
differentials in vital statistics in Moscow were much more signifi cant than now, and almost all ethnic groups
demonstrated a positive natural increase. <...> Key words: Crow’s indices, fertility, mortality, selection relaxation, urban populations, interethnic
differentials

Comparative analysis of the main indices of physical development of children, teen-agers and youth at the
age of 7–17 years from Belarus, Russia, Poland, Serbia, Bulgaria and Estonia was performed. <...> It was shown that the positive secular
trend was going on in the populations of towns and villages in the 1990’s, and that urbanization is an important
factor infl uencing the age of puberty. <...> The study also demonstrated local variations in growth patterns under
extreme environmental conditions, and exposed different growth rates in Belarusian schoolchildren at the age
period from 7-17 years. <...> Annual growth rates in stature have been also analyzed in schoolchildren from different
countries. <...> On the whole, the variations of main physical parameters <...>
