In 1991-1992 in the Czech Republic an epidemiological survey was conducted focused on prevention of iodine deficiency and the incidence of some thyropathies. The authors examined samples of the Prague and Vsetín population selected at random. The clinical examination comprised also somatometric assessment. In a group of 1,100 subjects from Prague and Vsetín anthropometry of basic somatometric characteristics was performed (height, body weight, BMI and four skinfolds). From comparison of the two groups ensues that the Vsetín population is shorter, as compared with the Prague population, the BMI values are significantly higher and so is the percentage of subcutaneous body fat.
