FORMATION OF THE ANTHROPOMETRICAL STATUS DURINFG PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT PHASE

Abstract

In this work we’ve defined one-measured statistical analyses of antropometrical parameters of men and women (age of 7-18 y. old). These data were defined on basis of growth and differentiation of the most informative of metrical signs including physical development. In order to determine the most informative metrical parameters belonging to people while growth phase, 10 examples of absolute size, body mass and 3 indexes have been examined among people who live in Western region of Ukraine.Together with public health services, for purposes of preventive supervision 360 male and female persons aged 7-18 years have been examined (i.e. students of secondary school). Anthropometrical parameters were determined according to the accepted medical anthropology’ methodology: trunk length, shoulders’ breadth, pelvis breadth, longitudinal head diameter, the most diametrical head diameter; head, armlet, thigh and shin circumference; body mass. Indexes were figured out according to trunk length(IRLT), shoulders’ breadth(IRBS) and pelvis. These parameters formed %(percentage) of correlation between corresponding proportions and height.Analysis of indications system which marks the anthropometrical status is enough to be able to determine (by means of the factorial criterion of sex) the index of relative trunk length at the age of 7, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18 years (Р<0,01 – 0,001). This analysis also helped to prove the comparison of all total indexes while second childhood phase (Р>0,05) and to determine the importance of sex trend in antroph-amorphous status formation at the age periods of 13-16 and 17-18 years: according to the index of pelvis breadth – 12, 13 years (Р<0,05),14, 15 years (Р<0,001) and index of the relative shoulders’ breadth - 15, 17, 18 years (Р<0,01 – 0,001).While adolescence, particularly at the age of 16 in female, more rapid body growth in height in comparison with trunk length is registered. It causes the decrease in IRLT indexes from 30,0% while childhood up to 27,5% at the age period of 13-18 years. On the contrary, IRBS index increases from 21,0% (childhood) to 22,0% (adolescence) and up to 23,5% (teenagers) in maleand from 20,6% to 21,3%and 22,5% in female persons in accordance with growth impairment.On the basis ofanthropometrical parameters’ indexes in male and female persons and taking into consideration their annual age appliance while growth phase, charts of the most veritable metrical parameters have been formed.
