The aim of the work was to identify the features of biochemical blood parameters of Yakut men with type 2 diabetes depending on the Rees-Eizenk somatotype. We examined 40 men of yakut nationality with an established diagnosis of "type 2 diabetes", aged 38 to 69 years (average age 57,4 years). The anthropometric study included measurements of body length, body weight, body circumference (chest circumference, waist and buttock circumference), and body diameters (transverse diameter of the chest, anterior-posterior diameter of the chest). The body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Somatotyping was performed using the Rees-Eizenk index. The index value of the examined men was divided into pyknic, normosthenic and asthenic somatotype. Data from the biochemical blood test were copied from the patients ' medical history. All laboratory tests were conducted in the clinical and diagnostic laboratory of the Yakut city clinical hospital. Statistical processing of the obtained scientific material was carried out by the method of variation statistics using the SPSS application software package for Windows (version 17,0). The analysis was performed using parametric and nonparametric statistics. An anthropometric study of men with type 2 diabetes found that half of the subjects were obese according to their body mass index. A somatotypological study on the Rees-Eizenk index found a predominance of individuals with a pyknical somatotype. Asthenic somatotype was not detected in the examined group. More pronounced deviations of biochemical parameters of the pyknic men's blood from the standard parameters were found. The data obtained indicate a greater susceptibility to the development of type 2 diabetes in men with a pyknical somatotype.
Background. Physical development is one of the generally recognized indicators of health. Scientific research aimed at studying the constitution and composition of the body of the male population using various techniques is an urgent task of modern medicine and human biology. The aim of the study was to determine the somatotypological features of the physical development of yakut men according to the Rees-Eisenck index. Materials and methods. An anthropometric and bioimpedance examination of 55 men of yakut nationality, the first and second periods of adulthood was conducted. The anthropometric part of the study included the measurement of body length and weight, waist and hip circumference, pelvic diameter and transverse chest diameter. Somatometric indices were calculated: BMI, Rohrer index, the ratio of waist circumference to buttocks. The definition of body types was carried out according to the Rees-Eisenck index. Bioimpedance measurement was carried out using the analyzer of body composition and balance of water sectors of the body ABC – 01 “Medass”. The amounts of relative and absolute fat mass, musculoskeletal mass, lean mass, active cell mass were determined. Statistical processing of the obtained material was carried out by parametric and nonparametric methods using the SPSS 17,0 application software package. Results. The predominant body type was the picnic type (76,6%). Comparison of the indicators revealed significantly large values of body weight, BMI, waist and buttock circumference, transverse chest diameter, pelvic diameter and relative fat mass in persons with a picnic body type. Parameters of musculoskeletal mass, lean mass and total hydration of the body in picnics were significantly lower than those of normostenics. Overweight and obesity were significantly more often registered in persons with picnic somatotype. Conclusion. Thus, the obtained anthropometric and bioimpedance data allow us to classify men with a picnical type of physique into a risk group for the development of pathology of different body systems.
The aim of the study was to identify the features of the somatometric parameters of Yakut men in the youthful and second period of adulthood according to Heath–Carter.Material and methods. 167 young men and 41 men of the second period of mature age of the Yakut nationality were examined. The examination included anthropometric measurements and bioimpedance analysis of the body BMI and waist-to-hip ratio were calculated. Somatotyping according to Heath–Carter was carried out on the basis of ecto-, meso- and endomorphic scores, which are included in the bioimpedancemetry protocol. Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out using the SPSS 17.0 application package. The normality of the distribution of parameters was determined by the Kolmogorov–Smirnov criterion. Mean (M) and standard deviation (SD) were calculated, and intergroup differences were assessed using Student's t-test.Results. The study revealed age differences in terms of length, weight and body composition. Significantly large values of body length, relative parameters of skeletal muscle mass and active cell mass were found in young men. Mature men had significantly higher body weight values, absolute and relative indicators of fat mass, absolute values of active cell mass. According to BMI, overweight was detected in 6.6%, obesity - in 3.0% of young men. Among men of mature age, overweight was determined in 54.2%, obesity - in 27.0%. A high index of the ratio of waist circumference to hip circumference was found in 4.8% of boys and 58.5% of men. The distribution of somatotypes according to Heath-Carter revealed that young men in 100% of cases had a mesectomorphic somatotype. In mature men, the mesectomorphic type was also the predominant somatotype (95.8%). In 4.2% of men of mature age, a balanced ectomorphic type was determined. The absence of variability in body types suggests that the mesectomorphic somatotype is the most adapted to living in the extreme natural and climatic conditions of Yakutia.
