    The paper gives upper estimates of the volume and the surface area of \(n\)-dimensional convex bodies with given diameter \(d\) and minimal width \(\omega\). The estimates are attained for the symmetric slice \(S(\omega, d)\) of the ball of diameter \(d\) bounded by two parallel hyperplanes at distance apart \(\omega\). As a corollary, the volume and the surface area of \(n\)-dimensional convex bodies with given circumradius \(R\) and minimal width \(\omega\) are estimated from above. These estimates are attained for the slice \(S(\omega, 2R)\).
