The aim of the work was to evaluate the differences between age categories of Romany and non-Romany children. The evaluated dataset consisted of 211 children – 104 non-Romany and 107 Romany. Anthropometric measurements included body weight and height and head and chest circumferences. The analysis of the obtained data showed that for non-Romany children the parameters of body height and head and chest circumferences were higher than those of Romany children. Body weight was not higher for all non-Romany children ER -
