Abstract
The contribution of genetic and ecological (high-altitude, urban-rural ) factors into variability of the level of somatic development in diff erent stages of pubertal development (7 - 17 years) of the male ontoge ny was studied. It was found, that realization of genetic potential of growth and development in children and adolescents is not substantial ly influenced by high-altitude locations, but by ecological difference s between urban and rural communities, induced by socioeconomic condit ions.
