The article examines regional differences in the physical development of 17-year-old adolescents living in Tashkent and Bukhara Regions
and the Republic of Karakalpakstan. Body height was comparatively analyzed separately among boys and girls. The highest mean values
were observed in Tashkent Region, intermediate values in Bukhara Region, and the lowest values in the Republic of Karakalpakstan. Mean
body height among boys was 174.6, 169.8, and 165.8 cm, respectively, while among girls it was 162.8, 160.2, and 157.4 cm. The difference
between the maximum and minimum values was 8.8 cm among boys and 5.4 cm among girls. The findings indicate regional variability in
the physical development of 17-year-old adolescents.
