Abstract     In the space of pathological conative factors the applied discrimination analyses clearly discriminate 300 subjects ages 17-19, divided into three sub-samples of 100 subjects according to different body weight defined by the Lorenz index. Differences between the groups of the subjects can be interpreted on the basis of two latent functions. First discriminative function discriminates obese female adolescents characterized by the variables defining the mechanism of control as regulation of protection reactions and conversion together with desintegrated behaviour, from undernourished subjects characterized by some mechanisms for the control and regulation of organic functions, with characteristic projections of variables of respiratory and cardiovascular conversion and sensorial deficiency. The structure of the second discriminating function defines the obese and the undernourished subjects by the normal weight subjects. With the obese as well as with the undernourished manifest pathological conative factors can be eliminated by means of reduction diet, kinesiotherapy and psychotherapy.
