The purposeof this study was to develop data about growth-weighted indexes of men of youthful and Mature age, ethnic Kyrgyz.Material and methods. 955 men of youthful and Mature age, ethnic Kyrgyz living in Osh and its vicinities, practically healthy were examined. The method of complex anthropometry included estimation of 21 parameters necessary for somatotyping. The length and weight of the body were determined. Morphometric data processing was carried out with the help of statistical programs Microsoft Excel and STATISTICA 6.0 package. The differences between the two compared values were considered reliable according to the student's criterion at p < 0.05.Results. Somatotyping of men showed predominance of abdominal somatotype, with a minimum percentage of breast somatotype. The analysis of growth-weight indicators in different somatotypes showed that regardless of the somatotype, the length of the body increases slightly during the transition from adolescence to the 1st period of adulthood, which is explained by the continuation of growth processes. A slight decrease in body length in the 2nd period of adulthood is due to natural physiological processes and is a proven age-dependent fact.Conclusion. In the result of the study shows the distribution in the relative number of different somatotypes of men in the Kyrgyz population; shows the age and somatotypological characteristics of height and body mass that has significant scientific and practical importance.
This article is investigating constitutional and age characteristics of the body length, body weight, body mass index (BMI), and the absolute fat mass of Kyrgyz women. The features of the BMI and fat body mass in females with different constitutional and age groups were studied. According to our study, the leptosomatic group of body constitution was determined in 20% of women, while the mesosomatic group noted in 32%, megalosomatic group recorded in 33%, and an indefinite group established in 15% among the studied women. Stenoplastic constitution was 66%-77% in the leptosomal constitution; asthenic thin bone group was 18%-24%; and broad bone group somatotypes were 5-10%. The proportion of the mesoplastic group was 31-66%, which is greater than picnic somatotype (34%-69%). Results of our study revealed constitutional and age peculiarities are important for prescriptions in practical medicine.
The purpose of this study was to determine the thickness of skin and fat folds in Kyrgyz women of various ages, taking into account their somatotypological profile. Using the method of complex anthropometry, including the determination of the values of 21 anthropometric parameters, the physical status of 1028 Kyrgyz women of different age groups was studied youth (16-20 years old 310 girls), mature age (1st period, 21-35 years old 308 women; 2nd period, 36-55 years 410 women) living in Osh, Kyrgyzstan. For somatotyping, we used the scheme of constitutional diagnostics. Seven somatotypes distinguished within three constitutional groups. The subcutaneous fat was measured by caliperometry. Statistical processing carried out using the statistical programs Microsoft Excel and the STATISTICA package (v. 6.0). To determine the reliability of the differences between the indicators, the Student's test was used (p < 0.05). The results demonstrate that within each somatotype there are broad changes in the studied anthropometric indicator. Thus, the thickness of the skin and fat folds is the smallest in women of asthenic, athletic and stenoplastic (p < 0.05), and the largest in representatives of the euriplastic and pycnic somatotypes (p < 0.05). Thus, indicators of physical status in adolescence and adulthood in women have a pronounced somatotypological specificity. These materials on the physical development and constitutional and typological characteristics of the studied population of women applicable for a personalized approach in the context of a relative norm.
