constitutional type

Purpose: to detect variability of absolute and relative sizes of shin bones. Materials and methods. Parameters of large and small tibial bones (n=208) of adults aged from 22 to 89 years (118 men and 90 women) have been studied. Osteo- and anthropometry methods have been applied. Results. Sexual dimorphism, age variability and bilateral dissymmetry of morphometric parameters of shin bones compared with anthropometrical parameters have been studied. Conclusion. Absolute and relative parameters of shin bones have been determined by the type of constitution.

Discriminant analysis for anthropometricalexamination ofmen with myocardial infarction at the age of27-78 (n=186) is applied for the firsttime. Results of perfected method of anthropometrical analysis according to V.P.Chtetsov (1978) can be used to increase the efficiency of prophylaxis and therapy of myocardial infarction of men.

This article contains the results of examination of morphofunctional parameters; determination of somatotypes; identification of cardiovascular diseases’ risk factors, and evaluation of health condition of students -all of which can be used for the development of personalized health preservation programs.
