Abstract

The characteristics of the indicators of the final body height of men and women in the Belarusian population in 2021–2023 and their change during 1985–2023 are given. Uneven and unequal changes in both absolute height and growth rate of men's and women's final height in the Belarusian population are shown. The average final height of men for the period from 1985 to 2021 increased on average by 5.8 cm (from 175.6 to 181.4 cm) with a growth rate of +3.3%, while the average final height of women from 1985 to 2022 increased by 3.8 cm (from 164.5 to 168.3 cm), with a growth rate of +2.3%. It was found that at present in the described population the body growth of men can continue up to 22 years, and of women – up to 20 years. In 2023, there is a trend towards deceleration of final height in the Belarusian population in both men and women, but this observation requires further clarification.
