Background. The purpose of the study is to determine the anthropometric and dermatoglyphic features and the level of physical development of young people of Russian nationality living permanently in the city of Penza and Penza region.
Materials and methods. The objects of the anthropometric research were 251 students aged 17 to 20 years living in Penza and Penza region. The objects of the dermatoglyphic research were 176 students aged 17 to 20 years also living in Penza and the Penza region.
Results and conclusions. The study showed that the brachiocephalic type of the skull predominates in the head index among both young men and women. According to the Rice-Eysenck index the normostenic type dominates among young men, among young women - the asthenic type. According to the Tanner index the picus type of physique is more common among young men; the asthenic type of physique is observed among young women in a half of cases. Young men and women with normal weight dominate according to the Quete II. As for the Erisman index among young men, the occurrence of individuals with broad and narrow chests is approximately equal. Among young women, the narrow chest predominates. The index of trophism is dominated by young men with hypotrophy, individuals of type 2 hypertrophy and type 2 hypotrophy haven’t been detected. Among young women, there are more people with normal trophies.The most common pattern is the ulnar loop, on fingers of both right and left hands. The curl is the second pattern in the sample on both hands. The most common pattern in the sample for both hands is the radial loop.
