Girth body dimensions in men and women with seborrheicdermatitis of varying severity

Abstract

Today in modern medicine the study of human health is reoriented to the individualprinciple, which is based on the identification and study of constitutionally determinedpatterns of manifestation of certain diseases. The purpose of the study is to establishand analyze the features of the girth body sizes in men and women with generalizedfatty form of seborrheic dermatitis of varying severity. The comprehensive body size of40 men and 40 young women (25-44 years) with generalized fatty seborrheic dermatitis(mild and severe) was determined. The control group consisted of the girth sizes ofpractically healthy men (n=82) and women (n=154) of the same age group, which wereselected from the database of the research center National Pirogov Memorial MedicalUniversity. Statistical processing of body circumference was performed in the licensedpackage "Statistica 6.0" using non-parametric evaluation methods. As a result of studiesin patients with seborrheic dermatitis of varying severity of men, compared withpractically healthy men, found only greater values of the girth of the shoulder in arelaxed state and thighs, neck (only mild), shin in the upper part and waist (in bothcases only with a severe degree), as well as smaller values of the girth of the shoulderin a tense state; and in patients of varying severity of women - greater values of the girthof the shoulder in a relaxed state, thighs, lower legs, neck, waist and all girths of thechest and both thighs (only severe), as well as smaller values of the girth of the hand(only with mild). In both men and women with seborrheic dermatitis, differences in girthbody sizes are more pronounced in people with severe disease. Between men orwomen with seborrheic dermatitis of varying severity, there are no significant or trendsin differences in girth body sizes. In the analysis of the manifestations of sexualdimorphism of the circumferential body size between men and women with seborrheicdermatitis found greater values in men with mild and severe disease of the upperextremities, hands, shin, feet and neck (in most cases more pronounced inrepresentatives with mild severity), as well as only in men with mild severity - greatervalues of all chest girths. For a more correct understanding of changes in girth bodysizes in Ukrainian men or women with seborrheic dermatitis of varying severity, it isnecessary to analyze other constitutional parameters of the body.
