Introduction. Environmental conditions have been changing over the years and the body’s capacity to adapt affects human development, its growth and typogenesis. Aim. To confirm the secular trend in the population of children and adolescents aged 4 to 18 from Rzeszów in the last 35 years in terms of growing and differentiation body proportions. Materials and methods. In 2013/2014, a total of 1,563 children from Rzeszów were examined. The length of the trunk, the upper limb, the lower limb, the width of the shoulders and the width of the hips were measured and the following indices were calculated: trunk length, upper limb length, lower limb length, inter-limb, hip-shoulder and shoulder width. The data was subjected to statistical analysis and compared to the data collected in 1978/79, 1993/1994 and 2003/2004. Results. During the 35-year period, the following symptoms were observed: elongation of upper and lower limbs in both sexes, increase in shoulder width in boys from 15-18 years of age, and in girls generally in the entire examined age, tendency to decrease in hip width in both sexes in most age classes. Conclusions. The secular trend in the population of children and adolescents aged 4 to 18 from Rzeszów in the last 35 years regarding growth process and differentiating body proportions was confirmed.

Introduction. Over the past decades, anthropometric studies have focused more on secular changes in body height and weight, and less on changes in head features. Meanwhile, changing socio-economic conditions, especially the nutritional status of the human population, support the need to document some of the metric head features in children and adolescents. Aim. The aim of this study was to determine whether there has been changes over time in the morphological development of the head with respect to socio-economic conditions at the turn of the last century on sample population of children and adolescents from Rzeszów. Material and methods. In the years 1978/79, 1993/94, 2003/04 and 2013/14, a total of 9041 Rzeszów children aged 4 to 18 were examined. Anthropometric measurements were based on a technique developed by Martin and Saller. The following features were taken into account: head length and width, morphological face height, maximum face width, nose height and width, and head circumference. The relevant head, face and nose indices were calculated from the measured data. New indices for head circumference have also been proposed. Results. Such changes as head elongation, shortening of morphological face and nose height, and widening of the nose from hyperleptorrhinus to leptorrhinus were found in both sexes. Conclusions. 1. During the past 35 years there have been noticeable changes in the morphological characteristics of the head, face and nose. 2. Further follow-up to the development of head features is recommended.

Introduction. Changes occurring over the years in environmental conditions and in organism’s adaptability contribute to changes in the human morphological and functional phenotype. Purpose of the study. Assessment of progress in body weight, body height, chest circumference, as well as Quetelet II (BMI), Rohrer, and Marty indexes in children and adolescents from Rzeszów, aged 4-18, and changes in the period of the recent 35 years. Material and methods. The total of 1,563 children from Rzeszów were examined in 2013/2014. Measurements were carried out to identify body weight, body height, chest circumference; based on that Quetelet II, Rohrer, and Marty indexes were calculated. Results. The findings, presented in tables and figures, have been interpreted. Conclusions. Somatic growth in the examined population is consistent with generally recognized regularities. The secular trend continues in the period of 35 years. It is impossible to make an explicit claim regarding stabilization of growth during the last 10 years.

Wprowadzenie. Zmieniające się na przełomie lat warunki środowiskowe oraz zdolność organizmu do adaptabilności wpływają na zmianę fenotypu morfologicznego oraz funkcjonalnego człowieka. Cel badań. Ocena rozwoju masy ciała, wysokości ciała, obwodu klatki piersiowej, wskaźników: Queteleta II (BMI), Rohrera, Marty’ego dzieci i młodzieży z Rzeszowa w wieku od 4 do 18 lat oraz jego zmiany w ciągu ostatnich 35 lat. Materiał i metody. W latach 2013/2014 przebadano łącznie 1563 dzieci z Rzeszowa. Zmierzono masę ciała, wysokość ciała, obwód klatki piersiowej, obliczono wskaźniki: Queteleta II, Rohrera, Marty’ego. Dane poddano analizie statystycznej. Porównano do danych zgromadzonych w poprzednich latach: 1978/79, 1993/1994, 2003/2004. Wyniki. Przedstawiono w tabelach i na rycinach oraz zinterpretowano. Wnioski. Rozwój somatyczny w badanej populacji przebiega zgodnie z uznanymi powszechnie prawidłowościami. Trend sekularny utrzymuje się na przestrzeni ostatnich 35 lat. Nie można jednoznacznie wypowiedzieć się co do występowania stabilizacji rozwoju w ciągu ostatnich 10 lat.
