Marchyk V. Influence of urbanization on the morphological status of posterity of the second generation of rural migrants

The thesis is devoted to the problems of the influence of the urbanizational factor on the indices of somatic signs, annual increases, the rate of growth, the variability of signs, the correlational relationships, the degree of morphological integration of posterity of rural migrants with the different degree of genetic resemblance-difference. It is stated that morphological adaptation of the of rural migrants' posterity in urbanized population manifests itself in the direct single-line dependence between the level of the resistance of morphological integration and the number of somatic signs, which reveal authentic changes. At the given stage of the adaptation of the posterity of rural migrants' second generation to urbanizational relationships do not suffer significant changes at the expense of the essential changes in the indices of anthropometrical signs. The changes of the children's morphological status under the urbanization conditions depend on the sex, age and degrees of genetic resemblance-di fference.
