Description
The purpose of this study is to identify "somatotypological profile" and girth size of mature age girls and women among the Kyrgyz population. Healthy young and middle-aged 1028 women living in Osh city and its surroundings took part in the study, where their physical development was assessed using the complex anthropometry method and somatotyping. Statistical processing of obtained morphometric data performed using the Microsoft Excel programs and STATISTICA package (V. 6.0). Result revealed that women leptosomic constitution 1.6 times (p < 0.05) less than mesosomal constitution, and 1.7 times (p < 0.05) than megalosomal, however, 1.4 times (p < 0.05) greater than represented uncertain group. Age features of different constitutions in women are a consequence existence of a tendency to predominate in the proportion of megalosomal and mesosomal groups over leptosomal and indefinite constitutional groups. The first mature age women total breast circumference was (88.5+0.2; 65.1-112.5 cm individually) is 1.1 times more (p < 0.05), waist circumference (65.3+0.4; 40.1-78.2 cm) is 1.1 times more (p < 0.05), and buttock girth (98.4+0.3; 79.6-113.2 cm) is more than 1.03 times (p < 0.05) comparing in girls. In the second mature age women, presented parameters increase by 1.09, 1.09 and 1.05 times (p < 0.05), respectively, in comparison with girls. Thus, obtained information about "somatotypological profile" of Kyrgyz women in adolescent and mature ages concludes indicators relative dependence in measuring parameters on age and morphoconstitutionality.
