Abstract.
Objectives. To determine the content of the body fat component and the distribution peculiarities of subcutaneous fat in girls aged 19-20 depending on their constitutional affiliation.
Material and methods. Apparently healthy 86 girls at the age of 19-20 representing the Slavic ethnic group and living in Moscow were examined. The girls were divided into constitutional groups by the method of I.B. Galant (1927). The data on the thickness of subcutaneous fat folds were obtained by calliperometry. The absolute and percentage content of the body fat was measured by bioimpedancemetry. The statistical data processing consisted in computing the arithmetic means and their errors. The assessment of the statistical assurance was performed by the method of confidence intervals.
Results. The representatives of leptosomatic constitutional groups were identified in 16,3% of cases, mesosomatic group – in 41,9% of cases, megalosomatic group – in 33,7% of cases, indeterminate somatotypes – in 8,1% of cases. The obtained digital data on the thickness of subcutaneous fat folds in different areas of the body show that the studied indices depend significantly on the belonging of a girl to one or another constitutional group. The individual minimum and maximum thickness of the subcutaneous fat folds of all the studied areas of the body in the representatives of the leptosomatic group are substantially less than those in girls of the remaining constitutional groups.
Conclusions. The research has provided a quantitative representation of girls of different constitutional groups in the studied population. The data on the distribution peculiarities of subcutaneous fat, the absolute and percentage content of the body fat and muscle mass depending on the type of constitution as well as the materials about the individual variability of the degree of these characteristics expressiveness have been also obtained.
Key words: somatotype determination, anthropometry, constitutional groups of women.
