Sažetak
In the population study in Middle Dalmatia we analysed anthropological variables to find out if there are some differences in their expression. We analysed three different age groups, according to environmental influences during their adolescence in four populations. On the Adriatic island of Brac, Hvar, Korcula and peninsula of Peljesac we analysed 12 variables (height and weight, and some mesostabile and mesolabile variables), for three population groups in males and in females: between 20 and 25 years, between 40 and 45 years and 60 and 65 years. The variability is higher in population groups aged 60/65 and 40/45 in both males and females. The highest number of statistically significant variability is found in males aged 60/65 for biacromial breadth, antero-posterior chest, and subscapular skinfold. In females aged between 40/45 in leg length and abdomen skinfold, and in a group aged 20/25 in chest circumference. The results were discussed in terms of environmental, migrational, historical changes and socio-cultural differences on these mostly isolated regions.
