Developmental characteristics of a man from birth to mature age are under the influence of different interior and exterior factors. Continious observation of growth and development can inform about all parameters at different age. The purpose of research was to establish presence of differences in some anthropometric measures between sample groups-7-year olds born in 1980(measured in 1987) and born in 2001(measured in 2008).Research pattern has been made of two subpatterns (first 176,second 91).Research included six anthropometric measures(body mass, body height, middle pectoral perimeter, thickness of skin on the upper arm, back and stomach). For establishing the differences between the groups canonic discriminative analysis had been applied. The results were processed by the statistical package Statistica 6.0. Results of research showed that there are statistically important differences in the level of significance(p<.01: p-level=.000). Factor structure showed that the biggest differences were noticed at variables connected to subcutaneous fat tissue, followed by volume, and the least at body mass and body height. Numerically bigger values are marked at boys measured 2008. Those results probably depend on external factor influence(nutrition, hypocynesy). .
