: Body constitution and hypertension with population of Banat; Certain number of environmental factors as: salt intake, alcohol intake, density of population, profession and obesity influence development of hypertension in human population. We were interested in the influence of obesity in the development of hypertension with population of Banat. Research was conducted in the villages of Banat: Sajan, Mokrin, Uzdin, Orlovat and Botos. Total number of people analyzed was 698, 340 men and 358 women. Specimens were formed according to the age, nationality and marital distance. Following subpopulations were covered: Local native Serbs Immigrants Serbs Local native Hungarians Local native Romanians For this study following measures were used: body height, body weight and blood pressure. In specimens of the population of both genders in Banat the highest percentage of population are individuals with hypertension compared to normal blood pressure. With male gender significant correlation between percentage of hypertension and obesity: with local native Serbs (0. 8924) and local native Hungarians (0. 7754), while with immigrant Serbs it is significantly lower (0. 5306). With women it is interesting that relation between hypertension and obesity is significant: with Hungarians (0. 9271), while with immigrant Serbs slightly lower (0. 5928), and with local native Serbs it is quite low (0. 3741). In can be noticed that with local native Hungarians, both men and women, there is close relation between obesity and hypertension. Hypertension need not always be related to obesity, which is noted at male immigrant Serbs and local native female Serbs. Percentage of hypertension at Banat population is mainly within the limits of hypertension percentage to the same degree as with white suburban population.

: Body height and mass of pre-school and younger school children in the city of Novi Sad; Following the instructions of JBP (Weiner Louriel969) an anthropometrical investigation was conducted in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002. The investigation was carried out in two primary' schools and five pre-school institutions, all of them situated in the same area of the city of Novi Sad. The subjects were 1297 boys and 1215 girls from 3 to 11 years of age. The data were analyzed according to the age and gender, and included only those children born in Novi Sad whose parents were not immigrants. The children's age is represented in decimals calculated according to the date of birth and the date of the investigation. The results were compared to those obtained in an investigation performed by the same methodology and in the same city area in 1971, 1981 and 1991. The aim of this investigation was to establish the possible age and time variability of the body height and mass as a result of the changes in living conditions. An increase in these two characteristics was recorded in the period from 1971 to 1991. The average increase, i. e. acceleration for all of the subjects was highest between 1971 and 1981 and referred to the height (1. 84 cm) and body mass (1. 46 kg) of the boys and the body mass of the girls (1. 84 kg), while between 1981 and 1991 the highest acceleration was recorded in the girls' height (1. 22 cm). Compared to the results obtained in 1991, the height and body mass of the present generation of boys are smaller, with the presence of a decrease, i. e. retardation (-0.64 cm; -0.88 kg). As for the girls, no significant variability has been recorded (0. 05cm; 0.27 kg). The analysis of the children's growth and development has pointed to worsening living conditions that mostly affected younger schoolboys and pre-school children. The invariability of the period in which the body height and mass of both boys and girls were equal, together with the retardation in the body height and mass of the boys, show that girls are more ecostable. The absence of acceleration in the last ten years as well as the presence of greater number of growth peaks in today generation of children points to bad influence of external factors upon their growth. Further investigations should determine if these factors have influence upon the process of maturing.

: Body height of adult Slovaks living in Kisac; The aim of the paper was to determine if there has been height variability between generations. Following the instructions of IBP, an anthropological investigation was conducted in 2001. in the same place as in 1975. The results have shown that the average height of males in 1975 equaled 168cm and in 2001 it was I 75.3cm. During the period of 25 years the increase in height was 6.7cm (t=5.38**). As for females (in 1975 156.16cm and in 2001 160.87cm) the difference is smaller, but also statistically significant (4.71cm). The change in height between generations of Slovaks living in Kisac is greater than in most European countries (Tanner 1988), where it equals 1cm per decade. or 2.5cm per generation. The analysis of height in relation to categories shows that two generations of subjects have different height distributions. The present generations of males and females (50% and 46.15% respectively) are taller. The results obtained 25 years ago referring to the same category show that the number of males was twice smaller.

: Body height of the school children aged 10-15 at Vrbas and Nikšić; The examination was carried out at Vrbas - SAP Vojvodina, the place which at the beginning of 1946 was settled by 6194 Montenegrins of Niksic and its surroundings, and Niksic - SR Montenegro. These two places differ in geological, hydrographic, meteorolo-climatic characteristics, plant cover and culture-historical development. Taking the foregoing into consideration the objective of our study was to establish what the body height was like of the boys and girls aged 10-15 at Vrbas and Niksic, that is to find out, at this stage of growth and development, the influence and inter-action of genetic factors and the factors of environment on the demonstration of body height. The examination was carried out using the instruction of IBP. For the purpose of our statistical analysis, we used the data of only those school children who came from complete families and those belonging to the following groups: I Migrant Montenegrins at Vrbas. The school children and their parents were born at Vrbas, and their both grandfathers and grandmothers were born at Niksic and its surroundings; II Natives at Vrbas. The school children were born at Vrbas or its surroundings, as well as their parents and both grandfathers and grandmothers; III Native Montenegrins at Niksic. The school children were born at Niksic or its surroundings, as well as their parents and both grandfathers and grandmothers. The obtained data were worked out according to origin, age and sex. Each group consisted of 30 school children of the same age and sex. i.e. 1080 school children were analyzed. The comparison of the migrant and native populations was carried out using the two-factorial analysis of the variance, and for the individual comparison, the LSD-test. Our examination shows that the average height of the boys and girls of the migrants is greater than in the natives, and the native populations of the boys and girls do not differ between themselves. Then, we have got different time in the occurrence of the second section of the growth curves in two groups of the Montenegrins, and simultaneously in the school children living in the same environment. Different time in the occurrence of the second section of the growth curves in two groups of the Montenegrins, and the same time in the section of the curves in the school children of Vrbas point out that environmental factors play a decisive role in the demonstration of growth rate and the time of puberty occurrence in male sex.

: Body structure of physical education students of Gdansk; Autori su ispitivali telesnu strukturu studenata fizičke kulture u Gdansku. Izmereno je 125 studenata i 90 studentkinja uzrasta 19-20 godina. Utvrđeno je da su studenti bili veće visine od 1,7 sm i studentkinje za 4,4 sm u odnosu na generacije pre 13 godina. Telesna masa se povećala kod studenata za 0,6 kg i studentkinja za 2,1 kg.

: Carcinoma ventriculi as a part of neoplasms of the digestive system; Our data on 377 patients with Ca ventriculi don't show any significant differences related to genetic background of Bulgarian population (blood group systems ABO and Rhesus factor (K=3. χ2 = 3,296, p<0,05). This data accord to some our previous researches on neoplasms of the digestive system (Ca colonis).

: Changes in the population structure in Mošorin during XX century; Mošorin, the village in Bačka with 3000 inhabitants is populated by the Serbs (97%). According to Lepage Y., in the largest number of marriages the groom comes from that village, and the bride not (40,53%), and when the bridal pairs were born in Mošorin (39,98%>. After I960., there has been an increase in the number of marriage between the newlyweds who were not born in Mošorin. The index of homogamy is negative, and amounts - 0,1200. In 69,51% cases, the marital distance is below 30 km. The bridegrooms were older than the brides in the all decades. There were only 3 isonomic marriages, and the coefficient is 0,0003. The secondary ratio between the sexes shows that in Mošorin for 100 girls, 105 boys were born. After 1940., there has been an decrease in the number of newborns. After 1950., there has been an decrease in the number of deaths. After I960., the birthrate is negative according to decades, in all decades of this century.

: Changes in the structure of the population in Šajkaš in this century; Sajkas, small village in Backa, in which in 1990 there were 2987 people which was made up of a different ethnic population of Serbs, Germans and Hungarians. According to Lepage Y., there were the most frequent marriage between couples who were born in Sajkas /32,35%/. After 1950 there was an increase in the number of marriages between couples not born in Sajkas and in the period 1960-1969 this percentage was 63,75%. According to Serbian ethnic background there were the most number of marriages between couples with the bridegroom from Sajkas and the bride from the elsewhere /33,18% and after 1950, when the couples were not born in Sajkas. With the German population there were the largest number of marriages between couples who were born in Sajkas /60,54%/. Where the groom was from Sajkas and the bride was from elsewhere in 72,59% cases the marital distance was under 30 km. It was similar in the opposite combinations of marriages. When the couple were not born in Sajkas the marital distance is higher with new-comers from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The index of homogamy amounts to 0.1393 and indicates on open population. The grooms are older than the brides in all the marriages combinations and in the last few decades, Serbian are older than at the beginning of the century. There was a greater age difference between the groom and bride in the German population, especially in cases where both were born in Sajkas. Marriages between people of the same surname happened in the Serbian and German populations; The sex ratio in Sajkas was favored the male population because for every 100 girls born in Sajkas there were 106,28 boys. According to ethnicity for every 100 girls born there were 100,52 Serbian boys, 109.85 German boys, 126.92 Hungarian boys and 150 Jewish boys and 133.33 Gypsy boys. The number of deaths in Sajkas shows that more men died to women: for every 100 women 108.34 males. The natural increase in Sajkas was positive in all the decades.

: Changes of facial dimensions in children from Niš - measured in groups between 7-10 and 10-13 Years of age; A study of facial growth and development dynamics was conducted on a group of 760 children in the course of four years. The boy's face is considerably bigger than the girl's in all ages except between 11 and 13 years. There are great similarities between the sexes in facial growth considering upper and lower face width. The greatest growth of upper width is noted between 7 and 8 years of age, and between 8 and 9 years for the lower width. The biggest is longitudinal growth, and this is at its maximum at the age between 9 and 11 years tor girls, and between 12 and 13 years for boys. The face grows considerably in length with growing age. Measured by facial index, boys are mesoprosopes, and girls are leptoprosopes.

: Changes of mineral compositions of mandibular body due to osteoporosis; The aim of investigation was to determine physical-chemic characteristics of selected segments of mandibular corpuses from 2 cadavers which would be indicators to determine changes of bone compositions due to osteoporosis. 3 samples from massive mandibular body from cadaver where teeth of lower arch persisted and 3 samples from mandibular edentulous corpus from another cadaver were investigated. External borders of samples were assigned. In the same x-ray exposing and in identical processing 2 orthopantomographs were made and optical densities(OPDs) of regions of interest were analyzed using DT II 05 (EU(England,UK)). Samples of similar dimensions were cut and then analyzed by scanning-electronic microscopy (Philips,EU). Using bensol as liquid phase on 200C in pycnometer, densities of samples of bones were analyzed. Values of OPDs, in U/mm2, amount: -2.48-sample(S)l, -2.86 S2, -2.51 S3, -0.90 S4, -1.40 S5, -0.62 S6. Statistically significant, to p<0.01 totals of cancellous sites were established in comparisons: of S6 and of S4, of SI and of S5 as well as of S2 and of S4, and to p<0.1 were established in comparisons: of Sl and of S3, of SI and of S6, of S2 and of S5, of S2 and of S6, of S3 and of S4, as well as of S6 and of S4. Mean thickness of cortical lamellae, in mm, amount: 17.9 ± 7.51 in S1, 12.22 + 1.17 in S2, 31.03 ± 8.91 in S3, 9.31 ± 3.89 in S4, 23.9 ± 11.7 in S5 and 4.06 ± 1,02 in S6. Densities in g/cm3, amount: 1.9658 for S1, 2.1141 for S2, 2.0748 for S3, 2.1296 for S4 2.2231 for S5 and 2.1357 for S6. Differences of densities and of compositions of non-osteoporotic mandibular-body samples, and of mandibular osteoporotic samples were determined.

: Changes of population structure in Đurđevo in XIX century; The author studies population structure in Đurđevo at the wedding, birth and death in the XIX-th century. Population structure at the wedding in order of origin shows that one third of newlyweds were born in Đurđevo. Combinations of marriages when the bride was from the village and the bridegroom from the other place was relatively very usual through the XIX century with 56,66% cases. Index of homogamy according to Lepage Y. is negative which means that linking of two phenotypes is more usual than it is supposed to would on the basis of coincidence. Inbreeding coefficient amounts only 0,0003 for only 2 cases of isonymy are recorded. Middle age of newlyweds shows that bridegrooms are always older than brides in XIX century. Sex ratio shows that sex balance exists because on 100 newborn girls 101 newborn boy is born. Natural increase is positive, having in mind that the number of born in every decade after 1850 is above the number of dead persons.
