Introduction: Environmental factors are known to influence human somatotypes in the process of evolution. There is a large body of literature on the adaptive capabilities, physical fitness and other aspects human physiology related to different body types. However, the evidence on the component composition of the body across somatotypes is still insufficient. The aim: To study body composition and metabolic parameters in young females with different somatotypes. Methods: Altogether, 155 female students aged 17-20 years living in an industrial city of Barnaul participated in a cross-sectional study. Body height was measured using a stadiometer. Body types were defined using trochanter index (TI) and classified as pathological (TI 2.0). Body composition was assessed using the AVS-01 "Medass" bioimpedance meter. Numeric variables were compared using unpaired t-tests and Mann-Whitney tests where appropriate. Categorical data were analyzed using Pearson's chi-squared tests. Results: The lowest fat mass (15,6 ± 4,38 kg or 26,9 ± 6,73 %) was observed in women of the normoevolutionary type while increased fat deposition was observed among women with a disevolutive type (24,3 ± 12,40 kg or 34,5 ± 18,0 %). Normalized basal metabolism was higher in girls of the normoevolutive type compared with women with the dysevolutive type (34,0 ± 1,98 kcal/kg, vs. 33,3 ± 2,68 kcal/kg, p = 0,002). Conclusion: We observed significant differences in body composition and metabolic parameters in young females with different somatotypes. The observed associations may be associated with long-term exposure to endocrine destructive pollutants earlier detected in the environment in Barnaul
