Purpose of the conducted research is to create the mathematical models of morphometric indexes of heart for the men of mature age depending on the antropometric and somatic parameters of structure of body. As research material served 196 men of the first and second mature age period. Measuring of 55 anthropometric indexes (total, longitudinal, transversal, circumferences sizes of body, thickness of leather-fatty folds) was made with the subsequent calculation of different indexes. It was established that mass, length, thickness, perimeters of heart, aorta and pulmonary barrel depend on the total complex of anthropometric and somatic type’s descriptions of body more than on 50%. For such morphometric indexes of heart, as a thickness of walls of right, left ventricle, and also interventricular septum, the reliable depending of antropometric and so-matic parameters body was set, however much exactness of description of these indexes is within the limits of 35-45%. The sizes of circumferences of body, longitudinal and transversal sizes of thorax, length of trunk, transversal sizes of pelvis, cir-cumferences of thigh and wide part of shin, thickness of leather-fatty folds, and also index of relation of deltoid diameter to length of body and index of Brugsh, are more frequent than all included in the models of morphometric indexes of heart. From the indexes of component composition of body’s mass a muscular component is included in models.
