Popis: The indicators of the physical development of 3225 schoolboys from St. Petersburg from 7 to 17 years old were studied. Assessment of the level and harmony of physical development was carried out in accordance with the WHO standards («WHO Growth Reference 2007») using the program «WHO AnthroPlus». The asymmetry of body length indices with a significant representation of tall school children (1.9– 10.9 %) is established. The high level of disharmonious variants of physical development, caused by overweight and obesity (16.4-38.2%) was revealed in the schoolchildren surveyed. The necessity of developing a complex of preventive programs aimed at the formation of a healthy lifestyle, balanced nutrition and increasing the motor activity of the younger generation is substantiated.
