Substantiation of the methodology for assessing the biological age of adolescents.

Objective: Aim: To substantiate the methodology for assessing the biological age of adolescent high schoolers (boys and girls).

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Boys aged 14-15 (n = 102) and girls aged 12-13 (n = 101) were studied. The choice of these age groups is explained by the presence of the most significant individual differences in morphological and functional characteristics in these adolescents.

Ethnic differences in right ventricular structure and function in urbanized hypertensive patients in the Gornaya Shoriya region.
