[Effect of ethnic affiliation and the high altitude factor on the tubular bones of the hand in children from Dagestan (x-ray osteologic study)].
Dimentions of tubular bones were compared concerning ethnic and climatic-geographical peculiarities of populations (under the conditions of ethnic homogenity of the groups). The data obtained demonstrated that Avarian people living at the altitude of 2,000 m differ from Avarian people living at the altitude of 1,000--1,100 m and from Kumyk people living at the foothills (500--600 m) in faster growth of the tubular bones of the hand and in their larger dimentions. Activation in bone growth of the Avarian people living high in the mountains results in "discoordination" of increment values of separate dimentions and in decrease of the correlation level.
