Characteristics of Blood Parameters of Yakut Men With Type 2 Diabetes Depending on the Somatotype

Abstract

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.
