It is known that both genetic factors and environmental influences affect the development of the human body. This statement also applies to a person’s personality, ie the big five – the main features that make it up. The study of the relationship between physique and personality traits among a healthy population is very relevant and is a promising area for anthropology and psychology. The purpose of the work is to conduct a prognostic assessment of the influence of anthropo-somatotypological indicators on the personality indicators in practically healthy Ukrainian women without and taking into account the somatotype. Primary anthropo-somatotypological (anthropometry according to Bunak’s scheme, Heath-Carter somatotype determination, Matiegka and American Institute of Nutrition weight composition) and personality indicators (determination of leading typological characteristics of temperament according to Eysenck, psychodynamic features of personality according to Spielberger and features of accentuated personality traits according to Shmishek, components of internality according to Rotter) of practically healthy Ukrainian women of the first mature age are selected from the data bank of materials of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. Factor analysis was performed in the license package "Statistica 6.1". The main factors that indicate the association of personality traits of practically healthy Ukrainian women of different somatotypes with some anthropo-somatotypological indicators: mesomorphs – "the size of the girth and fat size of the body" and "the size of the longitudinal size of the body"; in ectomorphs – "the size of the girth of the body" and "the size of the fat size of the body"; in endo-mesomorphs - "the magnitude of the circumferential size of the body" and "the magnitude of the width of the mandible"; in representatives of the middle intermediate somatotype – "the magnitude of the longitudinal and circumferential dimensions of the body" and "the magnitude of SFT on the posterior surface of the shoulder." In the general group of women, it is impossible to single out the second factor that has a significant load. Analysis of the obtained relationships of interdependence of personality traits, which have the greatest prognostic value in terms of formation of human personality with anthropo-somatotypological indicators showed that women of different somatotypes identified interdependencies have certain features. Thus, the application of factor analysis made it possible to determine the most significant relationships of personality indicators with the constitutional parameters of the body in practically healthy Ukrainian women of different somatotypes.

The purpose of the work is to determine and analyze the peculiarities of correlations between the constitutional parameters of the body and personality indicators of practically healthy Ukrainian women of the first mature age. Primary anthropo-somatotypological (anthropometric examination according to the scheme of V. V. Bunak, determination of somatotype – according to the mathematical scheme of J. Carter and B. Heath; determination of fat, bone and muscle components of body weight – according to the formulas of J. Matiegka, determination of muscular components of body weight – according to the method of the American Institute of Nutrition) and indicators of personality (leading typological characteristics of temperament according to Eysenck, psychodynamic features of personality according to Spielberger, indicators of severity and features of accentuated personality traits according to Shmishek, indicators of subjective control according to Rotter) of 101 practically healthy Ukrainian women of the first mature age were selected from the data bank of materials of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. The analysis of correlations between anthropo-somatotypological indicators and indicators of personality traits was performed in the licensed package "Statistica 6.1" using the statistical method of Pearson. Between anthropo-somatotypological indicators and indicators of personality traits of practically healthy Ukrainian women, mostly single weak-strength feedback and direct reliable correlations have been established. In most cases, the feedback is established with the leading typological characteristics of temperament according to Eysenck, psychodynamic features of personality according to Spielberger and indicators of severity and features of accentuated personality traits according to Shmishek, and direct – with indicators of subjective control according to Rotter. The multiple nature of the relationship only between the rate of accentuation of the character of the exalted type according to Shmishek with most indicators of the width of the distal epiphyses of the limbs and the size of the pelvis; between the level of subjective control in the field of failures according to Rotter with half the longitudinal sizes of the body; between the indicator of situational (reactive) anxiety according to Spielberger, or the indicator of accentuation of the character of the cyclothymic type according to Shmishek with all the girths of the chest. Quantitative analysis of significant correlations between anthropo-somatotypological indicators and indicators of personality traits of practically healthy Ukrainian women revealed the largest relative percentage of reliable correlations of anthropo-somatotypological indicators. Namely, with the leading typological characteristics of temperament according to Eysenck, the largest relative percentage of reliable relationships was established with transverse body size and somatotypological indicators; with psychodynamic features of the personality according to Spielberger – with somatotypological indicators; with indicators of severity and features of accentuated personality traits according to Shmishek – with longitudinal body dimensions, cephalometric indicators and width of distal epiphyses of extremities; with indicators of the level of subjective control according to Rotter – with longitudinal body size and somatotypological indicators.

Annotation. Exacerbation and aggravation of psoriasis increases the chances of neurosis, depression, can significantly impair mental health through social stigma and leads to social isolation and maladaptation, a significant reduction in quality of life. Studying this problem from the standpoint of comparative assessment of the distribution of character accentuations in patients with different dermatoses can provide insight into how a certain level of adequacy of psychological adaptive response is associated with organic pathological process or genetically existing expression of certain traits. The aim of the study was to found the features of indicators of expression and features of accentuated personality traits in men with psoriasis without taking into account somatotype and in representatives of meso- and endo-mesomorphic somatotypes. Men aged 22 to 35 years, patients with psoriasis (n=100, including 32 with mild and 68 with severe course) at the Department of Skin and Venereal Diseases with a course of postgraduate education National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya and Military Medical Clinical Center of the Central Region, conducted an anthropometric survey by V. V. Bunak Estimation of the expression and features of accentuated personality traits made according to G. Shmishek The reliability of the difference between the values between the independent quantitative values was determined using the U-Mann-Whitney test. In healthy subjects, taking into account and without taking into account the somatotype, it is seen that the type of physique did not significantly affect the severity of individual traits and their combinations in this group of people. With the increase in the course of psoriasis among subjects without somatotype, there is a decrease in the percentage of persons with hyperthymic and demonstrative and an increase – with emotional, pedantic, anxious, cyclothymic, excitable, dysthymic and exalted type of character accentuation; among patients of mesomorphic somatotype there is a decrease in the percentage of people with stuck and demonstrative and an increase – with emotional, pedantic, anxious, cyclothymic, excitable, dysthymic and exalted type of character accentuation; among patients of endo-mesomorphic somatotype there is a decrease in the percentage of people with hypertension and an increase – with stuck, demonstrative and excitable type of character accentuation. All this maintains a pathologically high level of affective tension, which disrupts the autonomic balance in the body, can be a pathogenic factor in the development of psychosomatic illness and leads to ineffective treatment of psoriasis.

Prediction of the occurrence of eczema and the development of its severe forms is possible by identifying its morphological markers in patients with various forms and severity of dermatosis and their comparison with healthy subjects. The aim of the study was to examine the differences in body girth sizes between healthy and/or eczema patients depending on the severity of dermatosis. Patients with idiopathic (n=34) and microbial (n=38) eczema men of the first mature age underwent an anthropometric examination according to Bunak. The diagnosis of eczema was made according to the nomenclature of ICD-10. 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. Statistical data processing was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric methods of evaluation of the obtained results. In healthy men, the following values of the following envelope sizes were found: shoulder girth in a tense state by 4.9 % compared with patients with severe eczema; unstressed shoulder girth by 7.3 % and 11.8 % compared with patients with idiopathic eczema of mild and severe course and by 10.0 % and 11.3% compared with patients with microbial eczema of mild and severe course; forearm girth in the upper part by 5.4 % compared with patients with idiopathic eczema of severe course; thigh girth by 5.1 % and 8.0 % compared with patients with idiopathic eczema of mild and severe course and by 7.1 % and 11.3 % compared with patients with microbial eczema of mild and severe course; thigh girth by 4.16 % and 4.5 % compared with patients with idiopathic severe eczema and mild microbial eczema; upper crus girth by 5.3 %, 7.5 % and 7.1 % compared with patients with idiopathic eczema of mild and severe course and microbial eczema of mild course; lower crus girth by 6.0 % compared with patients with mild microbial eczema; neck girth by 7.5 % and 6.8 % compared with patients with idiopathic severe eczema and mild microbial eczema; waist girth by 8.6 % and 15.6 % compared with patients with idiopathic eczema of mild and severe course and by 13.9 % and 16.7 % compared with patients with microbial eczema of mild and severe course; chest girth on inhalation, exhalation, at rest by 6.9 %, 9.5 % and 9.1 % compared with patients with idiopathic eczema of severe course. Only the girth of the foot in healthy men is 3.1 % higher than in sick men with mild microbial eczema. In men with idiopathic eczema, the neck girth was 5.4 % lower than in men with severe eczema. The obtained data can be used for a personalized approach in the creation of appropriate prevention and treatment and diagnostic programs.

Nevi, although benign neoplasms of the skin, but have a certain tendency to malignancy, which is influenced by various external and internal human factors. Predicting the risk of benign nevi against this background is an important topic for experimental research. The aim of the study was to establish the features of the skinfold thickness (SFT) in men of the first adult age with benign nevi. SFT was determined according to the Bunak scheme for men (aged 22-35 years) with melanocyte benign simple nevi (n=34), melanocyte benign dysplastic nevi (n=27), melanocyte benign congenital nevi (n=14) and non-melanocyte benign (n=17). The control group – SFT of 82 practically healthy men of the same age group was selected from the data bank of the Research Center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. Statistical processing of the results was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric evaluation methods. It was found that in practically healthy men higher than in patients – SFT on the anterior and posterior surfaces of the shoulder and thigh (in all groups of patients); SFT on the forearm, at the lower angle of the scapula, chest and shin (only in patients with melanocyte benign dysplastic nevi). Also in healthy men are found lower than in patients – SFT on the side (in all groups of patients); SFT in the abdomen (in patients with melanocyte benign simple and non-melanocyte benign nevi). When comparing SFT between patients with benign nevi, in most cases, lower values of SFT found in patients with melanocyte benign dysplastic nevi. The obtained results indicate the initial manifestations of abdominal (android) type of fat deposition in the body in patients with benign nevi (most pronounced in patients with melanocyte benign simple nevi).

Annotation. 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. Anthropometric examination according to Bunak was performed for 32 men of the first mature age in patients with mild and 68 men with severe psoriasis. 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. Statistical data processing was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric methods of evaluation of the obtained results. In patients with mild and severe psoriasis compared with healthy men found: lower values – pubic height (by 3.2 % and 5.4 %) and trochanter (by 8.2 % and 7.0 %) anthropometric points, shoulder width (by 19.6 % and 19.0 %) and the width of the distal epiphysis of the shin (by 5.2 % and 4.8 %); greater values – body weight (by 20.1 % and 17.5 %), body length (by 1.7 % in mild course), body surface area (by 10.0 % and 7.8 %), height of suprasternal (by 3.0 % and 1.5 %), acromial (by 2.3 % and 1.0 %) and finger (by 6.1 % and 4.4 %) anthropometric points, width of the distal epiphysis of the shoulder (by 6.9 % and 5.7 %), forearm (by 3.3 % in mild course) and thigh (by 10.3 % and 7.1 %), mid-thoracic diameter (by 16.5 % and 16.3 %), transverse lower thoracic diameter (by 16.5 % and 15.7 %), anterior-posterior mid-thoracic diameter (by 17.7 % and 20.2 %), interspinous (by 12.2 % and 12.1 %), intercristal (by 13.4 % and 11.7 %) and intertrochanteric (by 11.3 % and 10.4 %) distances. Differences in the studied body size in patients with varying degrees of psoriasis found. Thus, in patients with mild psoriasis, compared with patients with severe psoriasis, higher values were found for: body length (by 1.6 %); heights of suprasternal (by 1.5 %), pubic (by 2.1 %) and finger (by 1.4 %) anthropometric points; width of the distal epiphysis of the forearm (by 2.3 %). Thus, pronounced differences in total, longitudinal and transverse dimensions between healthy and patients with mild and severe psoriasis were revealed by Ukrainian men of the first mature age. Between patients with varying degrees of severity of dermatosis, most differences are found only for longitudinal body size.

The purpose of the work is to determine and analyze the peculiarities of correlations between indicators of personality features and anthropo-somatotypological parameters of the body of practically healthy women of middle intermediate somatotype. Primary personality indicators and anthropo-somatotypological parameters of the body of 17 practically healthy Ukrainian women of the first mature age of the middle intermediate somatotype were selected from the database of materials of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. Correlation analysis was performed in the licensed package “Statistica 6.1” using the non-parametric Spearman’s method. In the analysis of correlations between personality indicators and anthropo-somatotypological parameters of the body of almost healthy Ukrainian women of middle intermediate somatotype, multiple, in most cases, moderate inverse, reliable and unreliable relationships of Spielberger’s personal anxiety index with all indicators of distal epiphyseal width (WDE) of limbs, almost half of the thickness of skin and fat folds (TSFF), endo- and mesomorphic components of the somatotype and bone and fat components of body weight; indicators of accentuation of the nature of the stuck and exciting types according to Shmishek with the majority of the transverse sizes of a trunk and a pelvis; indicators of accentuation of character of cyclothymic and demonstrative types according to Shmishek with the majority of longitudinal and third of circumferential sizes of a body; indicators of accentuation of the character of dysthymic and exalted types according to Shmishek with almost all indicators of WDE of the extremities, a third of the circumferential size of the body and the bone component of body weight; indicators of the scale of general internality of the level of subjective control, the level of subjective control in areas of achievement, and educational (professional) relations according to Rotter with the majority of cephalometric dimensions, body weight, most longitudinal, girth body sizes and indicators body weight; an indicator of the level of subjective control in the field of family relations according to Rotter with the majority of indicators of WDE of extremities and TSFF of extremities. Quantitative analysis of reliable and average strength of unreliable correlations revealed the highest relative percentage of relationships between: the leading typological characteristics of temperament according to Eysenck and the components of somatotype, WDE limbs and TSFF; psychodynamic features of personality according to Spielberger and WDE of extremities, components of somatotype, indicators of component composition of body weight, transverse body sizes and TSFF; indicators of severity and features of accentuated personality traits according to Shmishek and WDE extremities, transverse, longitudinal, girth body size and somatotype components; indicators of the level of subjective control by Rotter and WDE of the extremities, indicators of the component composition of body weight, longitudinal and girth body dimensions, TSFF and cephalometric dimensions.

The category of personality is one of the basic concepts for psychology, but at the same time the most controversial in theoretical and methodological terms. That is why the study of personal characteristics in different populations, ethnicities, ages, professional groups, etc. still does not lose its relevance in the scientific field. Given that certain components of individual personality traits are innate, it is advisable to find connections between them and the characteristics of the human body. The purpose of the work is to determine and analyze the peculiarities of correlations between indicators of body structure and size and personality indicators of practically healthy women with mesomorphic somatotype. Primary anthropo-somatotypological and personality indicators of 33 practically healthy Ukrainian women of the first mature age of mesomorphic somatotype were selected from the data bank of materials of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. The analysis of correlations between anthropo-somatotypological and indicators of personality traits was performed in the licensed package "Statistica 6.1" using the non-parametric Spearman's method. Multiple, mostly reliable, medium-strength straight lines (r = -0.35 to -0.50), Eysenck G. insincerity scales with the majority of girth dimensions, thickness of skin and fat folds, somatotype components, and body weight component composition; multiple, mostly significant medium-strength inverse (r = -0.37 to -0.52) correlations of the exaltation character of the exalted type according to Shmishek G. with the majority of girth dimensions, the majority of pelvic sizes, somatotype components and components of body weight composition; multiple significant mean strength inverse (r = -0.38 to -0.49) correlations of the extraversion-introversion scale according to Eysenck G. with the thickness of the skin and fat folds of the upper limb and under the shoulder blade. In other cases, single, medium-strength, reliable and unreliable direct and inverse correlations of anthropo-somatotypological indicators with the leading typological characteristics of temperament, psychodynamic features of personality and indicators of severity and features of accentuated personality traits. As a result of quantitative analysis of reliable and unreliable average correlations of anthropo-somatotypological indicators with personality traits of practically healthy women of mesomorphic somatotype, the highest relative percentage of correlations was found between: leading typological characteristics of temperament according to Eysenck G. and somatotype components body weight composition and body girth; psychodynamic personality traits according to Spielberger C. D. and longitudinal body size, thickness of skin and fat folds and components of the somatotype; indicators of severity and features of accentuated personality traits according to Shmishek G. and indicators of the component composition of body weight, somatotype components, body circumference and thickness of skin and fat folds; indicators of the level of subjective control over Rotter J. and the width of the distal epiphyses of the extremities and the transverse dimensions of the body.

The success of the solution to the problem of treatment and prevention of obstetric-gynecological pathology largely depends on the extent to which the relationship between the sonographic sizes` of the uterus and the ovaries with the constitutional parameters of the body will be fully and systematically studied. The purpose of the work is to establish differences in correlations of ultrasonic sizes of the uterus in different phases of the menstrual cycle (MC) with anthropo-somatotypological parameters of the body of practically healthy young women of ecto- and mesomorphic somatotypes. Primary indices of sonographic sizes of the uterus, as well as anthropometric and somatotypological parameters in 78 healthy urban young women of Podillia with duration of MC 28 days were obtained from the data bank of the research center of the National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. In a sonographic study in different phases of the MC, the length and width of the body, the length of the neck and the anterior-posterior size (thickness) of the uterus were measured for its largest size, as well as the thickness of the endometrium and myometrium. According to Bunak V. V. scheme anthropometric survey was conducted. The evaluation of the somatotype was carried out using the Carter-Heath mathematical scheme. According to the formulas of J. Matiegka fat, bone and muscle mass components are determined, and according to the American Institute of Nutrition, the muscular component of the body mass. The analysis of the correlations of the obtained results was carried out in the licensed package “Statistica 6.1” with the use of nonparametric statistics of Spearman. In young women with mesomorphic somatotype, regardless of the phase of MC, in most cases, there are numerous, mostly direct, reliable and unreliable mean strength correlations between the linear size of the uterus, the length of the cervix and the thickness of the myometrium, and most of the total and longitudinal dimensions of the body, as well as between the length of the body of cervix and the width of the distal epiphyses of the upper limb, the majority of the lower limbs girth, the thickness of the skin-fat folds on the lower extremity, and practically all the components of the body weight by Matiegka. In young women with ectomorphic somatotype, regardless of the phase of the MC, numerous, mostly direct, reliable average forces and strong and unreliable mean strength connections between all echometric dimensions of the uterus and all total, most of the longitudinal dimensions of the body (with the exception of the thickness of the endometrium), the width of the distal epiphysis forearm, most of the girth dimensions, shoulder width and muscle mass components of the body using the Matiegka method and the American Institute of Nutrition are set. Attention is drawn to the average strength, mostly reliable, feedback correlations regardless of the MC phase, between all echometric dimensions of the uterus and the ectomorphic component of the somatotype. So, between young women of meso- and ectomorphic somatotypes set differences of numerous connections of the sonographic parameters of the uterus with anthropo-somatotypological indices. In young women of mesomorphic somatotype in the follicular phase of the MC, the ovulation phase, and the luteal phase of the MC, the number and strength of the connections of the sonographic sizes of the uterus with anthropomorphic somatotypological parameters is lower than that of the representatives of the ectomorphic somatotype.

Abstract. The Dark Triad is a constellation of three antisocial personality traits: Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. Recently, researchers have introduced a “Dark Tetrad” that includes subclinical sadism, although others suggest considerable overlap between psychopathy and sadism. To clarify the position of sadism within the Dark Triad, an online study was conducted with 615 university students. Exploratory factor analysis revealed that a six-factor solution fit the data best, representing Machiavellianism, psychopathy, physical sadism, verbal sadism, narcissism, and vicarious sadism. Furthermore, convergent validity was supported through sadism’s correlations with the HEXACO personality traits. The results support sadism’s inclusion within the Dark Tetrad as a unique construct but with some conceptual overlap with psychopathy.
