The Roscosmos requirements for the professional cosmonaut candidates are published here. The google translation seems to be intelligible.

It includes the list of medical areas of inspection:

  • internal organs inspection;
  • neuropsychiatric inspection;
  • surgical inspection;
  • ophthalmological inspection;
  • otorhinolaryngologic inspection;
  • dental inspection;
  • functional inspection;
  • gynecological examination (for women);
  • psychiatric inspection;

as well as the list of assays required (all kinds of blood tests, feces, urine, 12-lead ECG, etc etc etc).

And, in particular, the set of general anthropometric requirements.

Anthropometric data (the maximal allowed values):

  • height (150-190 cm);
  • height in the sitting position (80-99 cm);
  • weight (50-90 kg);
  • foot length (29.5 cm);
  • shoulders (52 cm);
  • distance between the armpits (45 cm);
  • hip width in the sitting position (41 cm).
