There had been examined 935 Turochaksky district people of the Altai Republic (663 – Tubalars and 272 – nonindigenous population). There was no statistical difference concerning gender and age in the studied groups. The great prevalence of overweight and obesity was stated for non-indigenous population compared with the Tubalars (natives). Obesity is a common feature for women in both ethnic groups. It is three times more often for them than for men. Regardless of the nationality among women there was an increase of the waist / hip index, while among men it was standard. The average value of waist circumference was statistically higher among non-indigenous ethnic group in comparison with Tubalars. Increased value of Quetelet index, waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio is associated with the increasing number of people, who suffer from arterial hypertension, and the increasing average number systolic and diastolic blood pressure as by indigenous as by nonindigenous population of Republic Altai.
