Annotation. The aim of the study is to find the possibility of predicting abnormal uterine bleeding depending on the constitutional features of the body structure at the outpatient level. 288 young girls were examined. The main group included 58 girls with abnormal uterine bleeding, the comparison group included 230 practically healthy girls of the same age. The constitutional affiliation of the girls was established according to the constitutional typology of W. Sheldon, considered the most reasonable and statistically confirmed. General clinical, anthropometric, somatotypological and statistical research methods were used. We considered only those parameters that can be measured by any general practitioner, namely: body mass index, and body surface area, chest circumference, interspinous, intercristal, intertrochanteric distances, the external conjugate. Analysis of the data obtained was carried out using the program “STATISTICA 5.5” using non-parametric methods for evaluating the results. It is established that the occurrence of abnormal uterine bleeding in girls adolescence in the vast majority of cases is related to their constitutional peculiarities of the body structure and most often this nosology occurs in girls of ectomorphic somatotype (46.60 %), and least often in girls of ecto-mesomorphic somatotype (22.40 %).

Asrigdara is a disease produced by Dosha Prakopa (vitiation of Dosha) along with Rakta Dushti (vitiation of blood components) primarily in Artavaha Srotas characterised by excessive excretion of menstrual blood where the increased Rakta mix with Raja (menstrual blood) thus, the quantity of Raja increases. It refers to all types of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB), in which Asrigdara is traditionally expressed as menorrhagia, metrorrhagia, polymenorrhea etc. Up to 1/3rd of women is experiencing abnormal uterine bleeding most commonly in menarche and menopause. Still, the cure of Asrigdara is facing difficulty, which shows that the understanding of Asrigdara is still incomplete, and this motivates to determine further, the other risk factors or other pathology involved in asrigdara. Objective: This calls for an evaluation of the possible Shonitha Dushti Nidana in Asrigdara to identify more risk factors. Methods: In this cross-sectional observational study, 36 subjects diagnosed with Asrigdara were selected. The probable incidence of Nidana (causes), in patients, were assessed through a questionnaire de- veloped for the study. The recorded data were analysed with descriptive statistics. Results: Aharaja Nidanas of Asrigdara acts as Viprakrushta Hetu (remote cause) causes Dhatu Pradooshana (vitiation of tissues) in the body. The Nidana Viruddha Ahara causes Rakta Dushti directly. The Manasika Nidanas such as Krodha (anger) is found to act as Vyanjaka Hetu (weak cause) in the manifestation of Asrigdara. Conclusion: Bahya Hetu (externalfactors) triggers Dosha Kopa or causes Dhatu Pradooshana. In Asrigdara patients, Pitta Pradhana Tridosha and Rakta were vitiated to initiate the disease manifestation. Keywords: Asrigdara, Rakta, Abnormal uterine bleeding, Raja.

<span lang="EN-IN">Adolescence is a critical period of life. This is a time of rapid development of the body, brain, and behaviours. They undergo puberty changes and also face difficulties that may affect health throughout life which is a setback for the growth of adolescent girls. It is important to study the nutritional status of adolescent girls. The study has been taken up on the Nutritional aspects of the Adolescent girls to focus on the Socio-Economic conditions of the families, Nutritional intake of the Adolescent Girls, and status of Body Mass Index (BMI) and Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) among the adolescents and to suggest recommendation to improve the Nutritional status of adolescent girls. This study would help to create a positive effect in reducing health problems and bring out strategies to improve the health condition of Adolescent Girls. It would help to create a positive effect on the problem of Maternal Mortality Ratio, Infant Mortality Rate, Neonatal Mortality Rate, and Crude Birth Rate. It may help to reduce the drop-out rate in school as well as in pursuing Higher Education. This study focuses on the situational analysis of the nutritional status of adolescents by measuring the BMI (Body Mass Index) in the rural villages of Karnataka, India, and suggests intervention strategies and proposes policies to enhance the health of the adolescent girls.</span>

Background: As the rate of obesity is increasing in women in the recent years, the incidence of endometrial cancer increases as the body mass index (BMI) increases. Despite the clear evidence linking endometrial cancer and obesity, there is limited public awareness of this relationship. This study was undertaken to evaluate the association of BMI and endometrial pathology in premenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB).Methods: An analytical case control study was conducted in 100 women between the age group of 40 to 55, with AUB in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, ESIC-PGIMSR Bangalore between January 2018 and June 2019. The menstrual patterns and endometrial pattern by histopathology were analysed in women with BMI of 18.5 to 24.99 and ≥25.Results: The mean age of women participated in the study group of between 40- 55 years was 44.83. The mean duration of symptoms was 10.18 months in the cases group and 8.52 months in the control group. The menstrual patterns were comparable and there was no significant difference in both the groups. The mean endometrial thickness, mean BMI, hyperplasia with or without atypia were all higher in the cases group. The frequency of occurrence of atypical endometrial hyperplasia was higher in women with increasing BMI.Conclusions: We found increased BMI to be an important independent risk factor for the development of endometrial hyperplasia with atypia which is a precursor to endometrial carcinoma in premenopausal women with AUB.

n this study, the elemental status of the hair of adolescent girls in the Orenburg region (n=120) with different levels of body mass index was studied and their average daily diet was evaluated. A nutrition assessment program was used to study the diet. Estimation of the element status was carried out through the study of the chemical composition of the hair by ICP-AES and ICP-MS. It was found that there was a general imbalance of elements in the diet of all of the studied groups, and students with obesity had lower consumption levels of all elements, except Mg and Se. Similarly, obese students had lower levels of all elements in their hair except Se, P, and Zn. Thus, changes in the level of body mass index, as well as geochemical features of the territory of the Orenburg region, affect the content of most macro- and microelements. Keywords: metabolic syndrome, trace elements, body mass index

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a problem frequently experienced by women in the world. AUB is not a disease but a symptom that indicates a problem in the female reproductive system or organs. The purpose of research was to determine the description of the patients’ caracteristics of AUB with structural (PALM) and non-structural (COEIN) etiologies. This analytical description study used medical record data from AUB patient in Dr. Soetomo District General Hospital Surabaya in January-December 2019. The number of samples of this study was 65 data, with 36 data for structural etiologies (PALM) and 29 data for non-structural etiologies (COEIN). Caracteristic of patient were seen from 3 categories, i.e., age, parity status, and body mass index (BMI) from 2 etiological categorie
