At the same time, a range of limiting factors (such as extremely harsh climatic conditions, negative demographic trends, low population density, etc.) hinder the achievement of a high standard of living in high-latitude regions. In this context, human health plays a key role in ensuring effective adaptation and work performance under such extreme conditions. To date, ethnic differences in the adaptive responses of morphofunctional parameters to environmental stressors within the urbanized areas of the Russian Federation are still insufficiently studied. The analysis of age-related anthropometric trends in the North-Eastern regions of the Russian Federation has shown the following: first, indigenous northern youths exhibit a lower rate of physical development; second, the pattern of changes in major somatometric indicators and their indices in contemporary young representatives of indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North indicates an increase in relative leg length and body surface area, bringing their morphotype closer to that of European-origin migrants.</p> <p>The results confirm that under modern ecosocial conditions, adaptive strategies of indigenous and non-indigenous northern populations are converging, distancing indigenous populations from the evolutionarily formed Arctic morphotype. Optimal functioning of both indigenous and non-indigenous northern populations expands the variability of somatic types and leads to a diversity of northern adaptive patterns.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Освоение и развитие северных территорий нашей страны требует решения многочисленных проблем, связанных с привлечением дополнительных как финансово-технических, так и человеческих ресурсов. Наряду с этим имеется целый комплекс лимитирующих факторов (таких как крайне экстремальные природно-климатические условия, отрицательные демографические процессы, низкая плотность населения и пр.), которые препятствуют достижению высокого уровня жизни в высокоширотных регионах. В этом контексте именно здоровье людей обусловливает высокую эффективность адаптации и трудовой деятельности в столь экстремальных условиях. До настоящего времени этническая специфика вариабельности экологических адаптивных реакций морфофункциональных показателей на давление стрессоров в условиях современных урбанизированных территорий Российской Федерации мало изучена. На территории Северо-Востока Российской Федерации по данным возрастной динамики антропометрических показателей установлены, во-первых, более низкая скорость физического развития коренных юношей-северян, во-вторых — характер изменения основных соматометрических показателей и их индексов у современных юношей, представителей коренных малочисленных народов Севера, свидетельствует об увеличении относительной длины ног и площади тела, что приближает их по своему морфотипу к мигрантам-европеоидам.</p> <p>Результаты работы подтверждают, что в современных экосоциальных условиях адаптивные стратегии коренных и пришлых северян сближаются между собой, отдаляя коренных северян от эволюционно сложившегося «арктического» морфотипа. Оптимальная жизнедеятельность коренных и пришлых северян расширяет границы вариабельности соматического типа и приводит к разнообразию вариантов северного адаптивного типа.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"><p>我国北方地区的开发与发展需要解决诸多问题，包括吸引额外的资金技术资源和人力资源。与此同时，还存在一系列限制性因素（如极端恶劣的自然气候条件、消极的人口进程、过低的人口密度等），阻碍了高纬度地区实现高水平生活质量。在此背景下，人体健康水平成为在这种极端环境下实现高效适应和劳动生产的关键因素。关于形态功能指标对城市环境应激源压力的生态适应性反应中民族特异性变异性，迄今研究尚不充分。 根据俄罗斯联邦东北地区人体测量指标的年龄动态数据显示： 首先，北方土著青年的身体发育速度较慢；其次，当代北方少数民族青年代表的主要人体测量指标及其指数的变化特征表明，其相对腿长和体表面积有所增加，使其形态类型更接近欧洲移民的体型特征。</p> <p>研究结果表明，在当代生态社会环境下，北方原住民与移民群体的适应策略正日趋接近，这使得北方原住民逐渐偏离其进化形成的“北极”形态类型特征。土著与外来北方人的最适生命活动拓宽了体质类型的变异范围，并催生出北方适应型的多样化变体。</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>adaptation</kwd><kwd>the male indigenous populations of the North</kwd><kwd>human ecology</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>адаптация</kwd><kwd>мужское коренное население Севера</kwd><kwd>экология человека</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="zh"><kwd>适应</kwd><kwd>北方的男性土着居民</kwd><kwd>人类生态学</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Министерство науки и высшего образования Российской Федерации</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="zh">俄羅斯聯邦科學與高等教育部</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source><award-id>0225-2021-0001</award-id></award-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This work was funded from the budget of the Arctic Scientific Research Center, Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, as part of the project titled Study of Intersystem and Intrasystem Mechanisms of Responses in the Formation of Functional Adaptive Reserves of the Human Body of the Northern Type at Various Stages of Ontogenesis in Individuals Living in Uncomfortable and Extreme Conditions, with the Determination of Integrated Informative Health Indices (Registration No. АААА-А21-121010690002-2).</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Работа выполнена за счёт бюджетного финансирования Научно-исследовательского центра «Арктика» Дальневосточного отделения Российской академии наук в рамках темы «Изучение межсистемных и внутрисистемных механизмов реакций в формировании функциональных адаптивных резервов организма человека северного типа на разных этапах онтогенеза лиц, проживающих в дискомфортных и экстремальных условиях с определением интегральных информативных индексов здоровья» (рег. номер АААА-А21-121010690002-2).</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="zh">This work was funded from the budget of the Arctic Scientific Research Center, Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, as part of the project titled Study of Intersystem and Intrasystem Mechanisms of Responses in the Formation of Functional Adaptive Reserves of the Human Body of the Northern Type at Various Stages of Ontogenesis in Individuals Living in Uncomfortable and Extreme Conditions, with the Determination of Integrated Informative Health Indices (Registration No. АААА-А21-121010690002-2).</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Kozlov AI.
