Abstract
Relationship between activity of nucleolar organizer regions in chromosomes and somatometric parameters was studied in residents of the Kursk region. Significant differences in the somatometric parameters were revealed between the three groups differing by the number of nucleolar organizer regions, which can be explained by different proliferative activities in these groups. A greater number of nucleolar organizer regions was associated with a trend to greater body weight and body mass index, waist and hip circumferences, waist to hip circumference ratio, and shoulder width in men and increased body height, greater body weight and body mass index, hip circumference, and leg length in women.
