Abstract

The constitutional approach is a valuable tool in the hands of practicing dermatologists, which allows an individual approach to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with psoriasis. The aim of the study was to examine the differences in total,longitudinal and transverse body sizes between healthy and/or psoriatic men depending on the severity of the disease. Anthropometricexamination according to Bunak was performed for 32 men of the first mature age in patients with mild and 68 men with severepsoriasis. The PASI index was used to clinically assess the severity and area of psoriatic lesions. As a control from the data bank of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya anthropometric data of 82 practically healthy men of the same age group were selected.
