Somatotopical characteristics of chronic prostatitis patients

Abstract

The anthropometric study of men in the first nature age (28± found more frequent asthenic (27,1%) and endomorph (29,4%) somatotypes in chronic prostatitis patients compared to general population. Consequently, the endomorphic and asthenic young men are at risk for chronic prostatitis and these findings may be used in clinical practice.
