We have identified topographical variability, gender dimorphism as well as the interconnection of the parameters under study.

aGe-related VariaBilitY oF somatotYPe Features in Females a b s t r a C t-Aiming to identify the variability patterns in the physique and somatotype of females aged 18-50 (Saratov Region, Russia) by anthropo-and bioimpedance methods the following parameters were determined: age; body length; body weight; waist circumference; hip circumference; body mass index; waist/hip circumference index; endo-, ecto-and mesomorphy indicators. The women were divided into groups as follows: Group I, 18-20 years old, 37 participants; Group II, 21-30 years old, 41 participants; Group III, 31-40 years old, 43 participants; Group IV, 41-50 years old, 57 participants. The least variable feature of the total body sizes was found to be the body length; the variability index in the age groups did not reveal much of change-from 3.1 to 3.8 (low). The exo-and mesomorphy indicators featured low variability (Сv %-8.8 and 5.5, respectively). The body weight (Сv %-12.8 to 24.9), the BMI (Сv % = 22.7) as well as the waist/hip index (Сv % = 10.1) showed an average variability, while the variability value for the endomorphy index (CV%=32.4) proved to exceed the average one. Therefore, the total body measurements, such as the body weight, waist and hip circumference, endo-, exo-and mesomorphy indicators for those aged 18-40 increased significantly to get stable in the IV age group, except for the body length, which changed slightly along with ageing. The body mass index, too, went up until the age of 40 and then stabilized, while the waist/ hip index showed a statistically significant increase only within the I and II age groups. Along with the age, the waist/hip index increased, as well as goes up the number of those overweight, obese, and people with the transition and the android body types.

Materials: The study was carried out on 120 CT scans of thoracic spine of adult males (aged 21-40) without any degenerative dystrophic change. Results: In the lateral projection, the counter-lateral dimensions (vertical and horizontal diameters) and the shape of the intervertebral foramina were detected. Following values were calculated: amplitude (Min-Max), arithmetic mean (M), mean error (m), standard deviation (SD).The nature of changes affecting the size of the intervertebral foramina was also identified with increase in the cervical-lumbar direction, as well as four types of intervertebral foramina – oval, rounded, four-sided, three-sided. The extensiveness of the various shapes differs and varies depending on the foramen’s topographic location.

Алмазова, Санкт-Петербург, Российская ФедерацияThe relevance of the study is determined by the high prevalence of back pain, which is due to discogenic pathology. The study aimed to study the quantitative characteristics and patterns of degenerative changes in the IVD of the lumbosacral spine in the age aspect. The visualization characteristic of the IVD of the lumbosacral spine based on the quantitative data in the age aspect is determined with the help of computer analysis. The statistical analysis revealed a moderate inverse correlation between the age of patients and the degree of degenerative changes in the IVD from L 1 -L 2 to L 4 -L 5 and a direct statistical average relationship between the degree of degenerative changes in all the IVD of the lumbosacral spine except for the disk L 5 -S 1 . The statistical connection was not found when comparing the degree of degenerative changes in this disc with the age of patients and degenerative changes in other lumbar discs of the lumbosacral spine, which was explained by the biomechanical features caused the maximum load on this disc.
