We performed a retrospective analysis of the encephalometric parameters of the brain hemispheres in children aged 8 years (30 boys and 30 girls) and 11 years (30 boys and 30 girls). The variability of the parameters of the brain hemispheres depending on age and sex was studied. In 8-year-old children, sex differences were revealed in a significant number of basic parameters: the length of the right and left hemispheres and the lengths of the left frontal lobe, right parietal lobe, right and left occipital lobes.

It was shown that all the indices mentioned demonstrated highly significant gender differences if calculation of each of them was based, not on the body mass, but on a conventional body volume obtained by division of the factual body mass by the average statistical body density corresponding to 1.064 kg/dm3 in men and 1.
