Somatotypological Features of the Skin Fat Fold Thickness in Ethnic Kyrgyz Women

Abstract

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.

Surgical Treatment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

“…However, Dansey et al ( 14) analyzed the U.S. National Inpatient Sample from 2004 to 2015 and identified 46 191 patients scheduled for AAA surgery, of whom 59 % did not meet the screening criteria. Among these, 27 653 (63 %) were over 75 years old, 10 603 (24 %) were under 65 years old, and 16 103 (36 %) were women (29). The authors recommended that consideration be given to broadening the screening criteria to include individual women and a broader age range.…”

Skinfold thickness in men and women with seborrheic dermatitis of varying severity

“…For example, it is known that in the group of dolichomorphic somatotypes there is a tendency to reduce the incidence of severe skin lesions in the pathological process of pyoderma, atopic dermatitis with weight gain, while people with brachymorphic somatotype get an average of 42 % of all severe diseases [20]. In the group of patients with mesomorphic somatotype, the highest incidence of psoriasis was noted, as this type of somatotype most often occurs in the population [17].…”
