Abstract

Personalized medicine is one of the priorities of the development of modern medical science. The aim of this study was to identify somatotypological features of physical development in men and women of the Kyrgyz population. The physical status of 1083 men and women in the Kyrgyz population (Osh, Kyrgyzstan) was studied by the method of complex anthropometry and somatotyping. The whole complex of the conducted anatomical and anthropometric examinations corresponded to generally accepted ethical standards, with the registration of informed consent from all the examined persons. The statistical analysis included the calculation of the arithmetic mean of the indicators of their mistakes. The differences were evaluated using the Student’s method at p<0.05. The results show that among women of youth and mature age, representatives of hypersthenic and normosthenic body types predominate; women of asthenic type are a minority (classification of M. V. Chernorutsky). Women of indeterminate somatotype (scheme of I. B. Galant et al.) belong either to the normal or hypersthenic type and never to the asthenic type. In men, the abdominal somatotype corresponds to a hypersthenic, thoracic-asthenic physique; men of the muscular type-mainly normosthenics; men of indeterminate type are both hypersthenics and normosthenics. The obtained data, undoubtedly, have not only theoretical, but also significant practical significance.

Highlights

  • Personalized medicine, based on an individual approach to patients, is one of the priorities of the development of modern medical science

  • The basic method for assessing physical development, nutritional status, and determining the level of health in this approach should obviously be the method of constitutional analysis [3, 4], which allows the analysis of the population to identify an individual belonging to different somatotypes [5, 6]

  • Despite a significant number of works of this profile [13, 14, 15], the physical status of different population groups is not uniformly reflected; many of the data are not representative, the studies were performed in people who differ significantly in age and gender; the results of many anatomical and anthropometric studies are outdated

Summary

Introduction

Personalized medicine, based on an individual approach to patients, is one of the priorities of the development of modern medical science. It should be noted that in the scientific literature there are virtually no anthropometrically directed studies that characterize both female and male populations at the same time (the authors consider either the first or the second, but very rarely both of them at the same time). This creates conditions for the formation of a kind of "gender imbalance", since such simultaneous studies performed by one specialist in relation to women and men are especially important, given the uniformity of approaches, methodological uniformity, which is significant in anthropometric studies [16, 17, 18, 19]. The aim of this study was to identify somatotypological features of physical development in men and women of the Kyrgyz population
