Objective of the study was to identify the peculiarities of correlation between the anthropometric characteristics of gender-differentiated individuals.
Methods and structure of the study. Sampled for the study were the 19-year-old students of the Volgograd State Socio-Pedagogical University (FSBEI HE "VSSPU") (n=34, including 15 boys and 19 girls).
To determine the "masculinity/ femininity" index we used the test questionnaire developed by S. Bem. The anthropometric measurements were taken using the standard techniques. The following parameters were measured: neck circumference, wrist circumference, chest circumference, shoulder width, pelvis width. The index of sexual dimorphism (Tanner index) was measured in centimeters by calculating the difference between the triple value of the width of shoulders and the width of pelvis. To identify significant correlations between the indicators of the studied anthropometric parameters and the value of the gender index, a correlation analysis of the results was carried out according to B. Pearson's method. We determined the presence of significant correlations between the studied indicators in the general group of respondents, then separately in the group of males and separately in the group of females (on the basis of sex), after which - in masculine and feminine students (on the basis of gender).
Results of the study and conclusions. According to the anthropometric measurements, in masculine males the neck circumference is significantly larger than in feminine ones, while the chest circumference is significantly larger in feminine males. No significant differences were found between the anthropometric measurements in the masculine and feminine females.
The findings can be used to clarify data on the laws of constitutional variability of physical status at a young age, and to conduct cross-cultural studies on this topic.

Keywords: anthropometric measurements, students, gender, masculinity, femininity.
