Differences of Body Measurements for the Youth Population

The research was conducted on the population of young men aged 13 to 20 years in five Croatian regions, including the City of Zagreb. A sample of 4045 respondents was measured according to the rules of ISO and EN standards. Descriptive statistics were used to present differences of the main body measurements. The obtained results showed regional differences, mostly in body height, where it can be concluded that the growth by age is linear, and the tallest young men were measured in Dalmatia region. Differences in other body measurements show that the highest values of waist and hip girths have young men in Goransko- primorska region, and chest girth in Dalmatia region.
