The purpose of this study was to examine the absolute and relative muscle mass in girls and adult women with different constitutions. Such studies in women of Kyrgyz nationality have not been conducted before, but this data is important for both theoretical and practical medicine. Physical development of 580 healthy girls and adult women, ethnic Kyrgyz, living in Osh and suburbs, was evaluated using complex anthropometry and somatotyping. The absolute muscle mass was evaluated using bio-impedancemetry using the ABS-01 Medass device. The statistical processing of the obtained parameters was performed using the statistical software, Microsoft Excel and the STATISTICA package (v. 6.0). The results of this study showed age-related and somatotype characteristics of the absolute and relative muscle mass. They demonstrated a tendency towards an increase in the absolute and relative muscle mass during the transition from adolescence to the 1st period of adulthood with their further decrease in the 2nd period of adulthood, which has both theoretical and practical significance.
