This research article presents the results of a study conducted by the author and provides a critical analysis. The study focused on identifying a number of morphological, anatomical, and morphological features of the pelvic bone in a study group of female students during adolescence and early adulthood, all first-year medical students. The aim of the study was to determine individual characteristics of pelvic size, structure, and existing changes, as well as a number of anthropometric and morphological index values in the sex somatotypes of female students, according to the classification of sex somatotypes defined by the methodology and classification of J. Tanner and W. Marshall. Data obtained from anthropometry, pelvimetry, and determination of special index values indicate existing anatomical, morphological, and functional changes in the pelvic bones of the female students studied, ranging from adolescence to early adulthood. These changes include an increased prevalence of various types of contracted pelvises, most commonly grades I and II. The results of the author’s study, and their analysis, indicate the presence of pathological processes affecting the skeletal, endocrine, and reproductive systems in the female students in the study group.
