This article presents a comparative study of anthropometric and cardiorespiratory indicators among adolescent girls living in different ecological zones of the Aral Sea region in the Republic of Karakalpakstan. Within the framework of the study, girls aged 11-15 from the districts of Muynak, Kungrad, and Takhtakupir were selected, and their body structure and functional activity of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems were assessed.
Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in certain anthropometric parameters (body mass, arm and thigh length, shoulder width) depending on the ecological area. The results of this study highlight the extent to which the health of children living in the Aral Sea region is influenced by environmental conditions and may serve as a scientific basis for the development of regional health improvement measures.
