The article presents the results of the study of the age and gender regularities of the changes of body mass and subcutaneous adipopexis in city school children aged 7–17 who were examined within 2010–2012. It has been found that the period of the maximum growth of body mass in boys is between the age of 14–15, and in girls — 11–12. There is a general tendency of negative dynamics of the subcutaneous fat thickness in boys and positive one in girls at puberty (11–15). School girls detect decreased fat thickness during the beginning of puberty (10–11) and its termination (14–15).
