For the purpose of determining the relations between anthropometric measurements and postural disorders of schoolchildren aged 12, a study was carried out which encompassed two generations of schoolchildren, a total of 299 boys and girls, measured during the 1987 and 2002 school years. In order to determine the relations of anthropometric space as the predictor system and postural status as the criterion, a canonical analysis of correlation was carried out. The anthropometric area was defined by 10 measurements, which covered the longitudinal and circular dimensionality of the skeleton and fatty tissue below the epidermis, while the postural status was evaluated by two variables, and defined by posture affected by scoliosis and flat feet. The results of the research indicate a significant connection between the two systems, on the basis of which the conclusion can be reached that schoolchildren with a greater longitudinal dimensionality are more susceptible to deformities of the spinal column, manifested by bad posture, and that schoolchildren with a greater circular dimensionality and fatty tissue below the epidermis and more susceptible to deformities manifested by flat feet. .
