title: [Influence of high altitude on the functional status and morbidity of teenagers].
abstract: With the aim to determine the influence of the high latitudes on the main indices of the blood and morbidity, physical development of adolescents of 14 years old residing in Kirov (n = 139) and Ukhta (n = 253), the evaluation of basic parameters of their blood, physical development and morbidity has been performed accordingly to standards methods. The inhabitancy of adolescents in high latitudes (Ukhta) in comparison with their peers from temperate latitudes (Kirov) leads to body weight gain of 4.7 kg in girls and 5.8 kg in boys, gives rise to the increase in gender diferences in hemoglobin concentrations and ESR and boosts overall morbidity.
