- Abstract
The research involved 188 adolescents from Niksic-Montenegro, 95 boys and 93 girls, ages 16, 17 and 18 years, with the aim of analysing the state of nutrition of adolescents. The state of nutrition was verified to subjects by means of BMI percentile values. By analysing the results of our research, encouraging is the fact that the subject population, adolescents from Niksic, is within the limits of normal weight, except for the boys aged 17 years who are approaching the excessive weight. Results obtained by the authors of work can be explained by the fact that the total population in Montenegro is among the highest in Europe, and according to Bjelica and et al. (2012) in their sample of 285 subjects (178 men, aged 20.97 ± 2.44 and 107 women, aged 20.86 ± 2.63) the average height was 183.2cm for men and for women 168.
