Research relevance: the paper describes body mass composition in women residing in mountain area, taking into account body types. Endomorphy is often diagnosed. Research objectives: to study the features of the body composition of healthy women of different somatotypes living in the highlands of the Alai valley. Research materials and methods: the object of the study were practically healthy women aged 21-35 years old living in Alai and Chon-Alai regions (h 2469-3325 m about sea level). A total of 209 mountain women were examined. Research results: the content of fat, lean, active-cellular, skeletal-muscle mass was established. Conclusions: the normative values of the phase angle, body mass index, content of the total and extracellular fluid of the body were determined.
