ANTHROPOMETRIC FEATURES AND COMPONENT STRUCTURE OF BODY MASS IN MEN WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE IN CONDITIONS OF COMORBIDITY
Abstract
The purpose of the study. The study and comparative analysis of the component composition of body weight and anthropometric parameters in men with chronic lung disease (COPD) with comorbidity with arterial hypertension (AH). Materials and methods. The study included 136 male patients, mean age 61 years. Of these, patients with COPD in combination with hypertension – 63 people, patients with COPD without hypertension 29 people. The comparison group consisted of 44 patients with hypertension without COPD. The study protocol included: clinical, instrumental and laboratory research methods. Results. In the course of the study, the patterns of distribution of constitutional types among men with COPD under conditions of comorbidity were identified, and the characteristics of anthropometric indices and component composition of body weight in the studied groups were established. A distinctive feature of the distribution of men by constitutional types is the predominance of persons with breast constitutional type among men with COPD and the predominance of persons with muscular constitutional type among men with hypertension and COPD and hypertension. Data were obtained on height-weight parameters, component composition of the body in representatives with COPD, depending on the severity of the disease. With the progression of COPD, there is a tendency to a decrease in BMI and a decrease in the fat and muscle component of body weight. Conclusion. It has been established that during the progression of COPD, the values of BMI decrease, with a parallel increase in the proportion of patients with normal body weight, due to a decrease in the proportion of patients with overweight and obesity.
