Hungarian population has always had a significant part in the wide range of ethnic groups in Vojvodina. Thus the aim of the paper was to establish anthropological characteristics of adult Hungarians living in some parts of Vojvodina, to compare them with the results of investigations of adult population in Hungary and to determine biological relationship between the two groups of Hungarians. The results have shown that males are between two categories-above middle height and great height (170.21cm), while females belong to above middle height category (158.11 cm).The average body mass in males equals 82.44 kg and in females it is 69.37 kg. The body mass index (28.15 in males and 27.20 in females) has shown that most of adult Hungarians of both sexes are overweight. Cephalic index is slightly higher in females than in males (85.61 and 83.69 respectively). The greatest number of subjects is with wide face (euriprosope) and middle wide face (mesoprosope). In both sexes the highest percentage of subjects are with dark hair and gray eyes. Daltonism is recorded only in males, and it is of deutan type (1.72%). Dendrogram of biological relationship both for males and females shows that Hungarians from Vojvodina form separate branches.
