Objective of the study was to identify the characteristics of somatic changes, to compile an anthropometric profile of the body of female students with vegetative-vascular dystonia of the hypertensive and hypotensive types.
Methods and structure of the study. The research was conducted at the Department of Physical Education of the North Caucasus Federal University in natural conditions. The study involved junior female students with vegetative-vascular dystonia of the hypertensive (n=86) and hypotonic (n=72) types, who were engaged in physical education in a special medical group. The control group consisted of practically healthy female students (n=108).
The anthropometric profile was compiled using anthropometric parameters – body length, body weight, chest circumference (CC), Quetelet body mass index (BMI), as well as using functional tests – chest excursion (CE) and vital index (VI).
Results and conclusions. It was found that female students with vegetative-vascular dystonia have lower body weight, body mass index, vital index compared to the control group, and female students with hypertensive type of vegetative-vascular dystonia have higher body weight and body mass index, i.e. they are prone to excess body weight. At the same time, functional tests using anthropometric data (electrocardiogram, vital index) in female students with both types of vegetative-vascular dystonia are worse than in the control group.

Keywords: vegetative-vascular dystonia, anthropometric profile, special medical group, health, students.
