Abstract:
The study of the relationship between urticaria and somatotype is relevant, since the peculiarities of body structure can play an important role in the susceptibility to this disease and influence its course and severity of symptoms. The study of such correlations can help in the improvement of approaches to diagnosis and individualization of treatment, taking into account the anthropometric characteristics of patients. This can not only improve treatment outcomes, but also reduce recurrence rates and improve the quality of life of patients with urticaria. The purpose of the work is to establish the peculiarities and gender differences of the components of the somatotype, the frequency of the distribution of somatotypes according to the Heath-Carter method, and
indicators of the component composition of body weight in Ukrainian men and women with acute and chronic urticaria of a mild and
severe course. The components of the somatotype, the frequency of the distribution of somatotypes according to the Heath-Carter method, and indicators of the component composition of body weight were determined in 40 Ukrainian men and 40 young Ukrainian women with acute (AU) and chronic (CU) urticaria of mild (MU) and severe (SU) of the course.
