[Functional capacities of the body and their significance in the assessment of adolescents' health].
Evidence is provided for the necessity of developing criteria for early detection of disorders in adolescence. Based on the results of comprehensive medical examination of 1940 teenagers, the authors have developed standards for an adaptative index. Differences have been found at functional maturity in male and female teenagers. There is an association of adaptive capacities with some diseases and the specific features of physical development in adolescents. It is concluded that the adaptative capacities may be used as a criterion for evaluating the health status.
