Abstract. Anthropometry is a set of methodological methods that consist in measuring and describing the entire human body and its individual parts (anthroposcopy) and allowing them to be quantitatively characterized. As a result of anthropometric studies, it is possible to evaluate and compare the variability in the characteristics of various racial, age, occupational and gender groups based on measurements of a large number of individuals. This article presents the dependence of various factors on the anthropometric indicators of children 8-12 years old.
