[Young children's physical development in Chukotka].
The patterns of growth and development were revealed in preschool children from Chukotka, which were characterized by ontogenetic heterochronism, sex dimorphism, and differences in the values of skeleton massiveness, body build, and body component contents, depending on age, gender, and ethnicity. The pattern of increments in height and weight was defined, which was optimal in aborigines and poor in newcomers. Variations in body weight was 2-3 times greater than that in height; bone components were observed to be more in boys than in girls independent of age and ethnicity.
