Based on the methods of correlation and factor analysis of the 21st morphofunctional parameter, there has been performed a comparative study of a sample of 1656 male subjects aged 17-21 y. o. consisting of aborigines, migrants and the 1st and 2nd generations’ Caucasians born in the Magadan region in (enrooted persons). For all the examined subjects, a complex of somatometric indices was the most significant factor specifying the strategy of body long-term adaptation to northern natural and climatic conditions. However, each population has its special morphofunctional ecological portrait which structure is determined by a number of statistically meaningful indices united in a certain number of factors.

It development of social life determines labor predominance in the sphere of information production, storage, processing and realization. With an increase in information flows, teaching information that should be studied by schoolchildren increases. In connection with this, research of intensification factors in education from the point of view of hygiene is very urgent. Our goal was to study learning labor intensity and assess junior schoolchildren’ mental abilities in different types of schools. The authors have proposed an adapted variant (N. F. Izmerov) of labor intensity assessment. Mental potential was studied with the use of the Ravenn test. The schoolchildren from different types of schools participated in that study: from an innovation school - 55 schoolchildren and from a traditional school - 47 schoolchildren. The high index of learning labor intensity didn’t stimulate mental development of junior schoolchildren. The technique of learning labor intensity assessment adapted by the author is very effective and can be used for hygienic assessment of a learning process intensification.

In the article, there have been considered the conceptual-methodological approaches to assessment of spiritual-moral components of a set of mind and mental health, mental medicine and preventology; directions of institutionalization and tasks of service and system monitoring of mental health; instruments and technologies of mental medicine making it a strategic scientific paradigm; the spiritual-moral typology of personality and syndromology of animogenesis; diagnostic evolution of synergetic inversion in mental medicine; the need to develop a united corpus of ethics codes of the system of community service (physicians and educators, social workers and priests) and introduction of the innovative complex blockmodular ethical program into high school educational work.

In this paper, we have presented theoretical principles of analysis of three or more independent groups using the Kruskal-Wallis test. We have presented calculations using formulas as well as a step-by-step algorithm for use of this test in STATA software. Moreover, we have given practical examples with special emphasis on assumptions of this test. We have also presented recommendations for presentation of results in scientific publications.
