Girth sizes of the body in Ukrainian men and women with various forms of urticaria

Abstract

The relevance of studying body girth in patients with different forms of urticaria is due to the importance of anthropometric indicators in the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease. Urticaria, as one of the most common dermatological conditions, can present in various clinical forms, each of which may differently impact the body, particularly by altering body circumferences. Examining these indicators in Ukrainian men and women allows for the identification of gender-specific and individual characteristics, which could be crucial for improving treatment and prevention methods for urticaria. The purpose of the work is to establish the peculiarities and sex differences in body girth measurements in young Ukrainian men and women with acute and chronic mild and severe urticaria.
