ANTHROPOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS AND COMPONENT COMPOSITION OF BODY WEIGHT IN MALE MIGRANTS OF THE FAR NORTH WITH ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION

Abstract

Purpose. The study of anthropometric characteristics and component composition of body weight in male migrants of the Far North with arterial hypertension. Materials and methods. The study involved 155 men aged 30–79 y.o. A study group comprised 66 patients with hypertension, previously living in the Far North, who later moved to a permanent place of residence in Central Siberia. The examination included clinical, instrumental, functional and laboratory research methods and anthropometry followed by constitution type determination. Results. It was revealed that over a half (57.6%) of examined male migrants of the Far North with hypertension had the muscular constitution type, whereas the male residents of Krasnoyarsk diagnosed with hypertension are usually characterized by having the abdominal constitution type (62.0%). Male residents of Krasnoyarsk without hypertension are more often characterized by having the muscular constitution type (33.3%). When compared with men who have moderate and mild hypertension degree, male migrants of the Far North with 3-degree hypertension showed higher indicators of fat and bone components as well as had a statistically significant difference. Conclusion. This study has allowed to identify and quantify the constitutional types distribution of the Far North male migrants. It has shown that it is usually men with the muscular somatotype who have hypertension. Body mass index and body fat component were higher in male migrants of the Far North with 3-degree hypertension.
