Abstract
The physical development of school-age children is one of the most important indicators of population health. Systematic monitoring of the growth patterns of children and adolescents is of great importance in raising a healthy generation and developing preventive medicine. The aim of the study is to analyze the age-related dynamics of the main anthropometric indicators of schoolchildren (boys) aged 7 to 18 years, such as height, body weight, body mass index (BMI), head and chest circumference, and identify critical periods of growth. The study used anthropometric measurement methods and methods of mathematical and statistical analysis of the results obtained.
