Using the methodological basis of typological variability concept of physiological individuality, it has been proved that the level of habitual motor activity (HMA) is a stable individual and genetically programmed trait. The purpose of the work is to study anthropometric and lipometric parameters in standard weight and overweight women with different somatotypes. Materials and Methods. We examined 250 women, aged 18–35, belonging to health groups 1–2. All the trial subjects were the patients of clinical hospital "Mother and Child" (Tyumen). We studied their HMA level during the preconception period. A set of methods was used: determination of habitual physical activity during the daily (pedometry, mobile applications “Health” on Android and Apple platforms), anthropometric (body length, body weight, waist circumference, hip volume, body mass index) and lipometric indicators (ultrasound diagnostic apparatus LOGIQS8 (General Electric Co, USA)), statistical processing. Results. Mathematical methods made it possible to characterize the HMA level as a typical individual feature and to identify three groups of women: with low, medium and high HMA. In these groups, according to body mass index and lipometry, two groups of women were identified: women with standard weight and overweight. In each study group, there remained individual and typological HMA characteristics. Overweight women demonstrated a decrease in the daily motor activity. Conclusion. The establishment of a typical characteristic is the basis for the development of a corrective motor activity program for overweight women during the preconception period. Keywords: functional somatotypes, preconception period, overweight. На методологической основе концепции типологической вариабельности физиологической индивидуальности доказано, что уровень привычной двигательной активности (ПДА) является стабильным индивидуальным и генетически запрограммированным признаком. Цель работы – изучить антропометрические и липометрические показатели у женщин с нормальной и избыточной массой тела различных функциональных типов конституции. Материалы и методы. На базе клинического госпиталя «Мать и дитя» (г. Тюмень) нами был исследован уровень ПДА у 250 женщин в возрасте 18–35 лет, I–II групп здоровья, в период прегравидарной подготовки. Использован комплекс методик: определение привычной двигательной активности в течение суточного цикла (шагометрия, мобильные приложения «Здоровье» на платформах Android и Apple), определение антропометрических (длина тела, масса тела, окружность талии, объем бедер, индекс массы тела) и липометрических показателей (аппарат ультразвуковой диагностики LOGIQS8 (General Electric Co, США)), статистическая обработка. Результаты. Применение математических методов позволило охарактеризовать уровень ПДА как типовой индивидуальный признак и определить три группы женщин: с низкой, средней и высокой ПДА. В данных группах на основании определения индекса массы тела и липометрии выделены две группы женщин с нормальной и избыточной массой тела. В каждой исследуемой группе в целом сохранялись индивидуально-типологические особенности уровня ПДА, у женщин с избыточной массой тела отмечалось снижение суточного объема двигательной активности. Выводы. Установление типового признака является основой для разработки программы коррекции двигательной активности для женщин с избыточной массой тела в период прегравидарной подготовки. Ключевые слова: функциональные типы конституции, прегравидарная подготовка, избыточная масса тела.

The investigation started from the need to find the level of bio-motor and health development in our Gymnasium School “Unirea” from Târgu Mureş. The research was also focused on discovering the children with BMI problems and finding the link between obesity and apparition of flat feet, spin and knee deficiencies. The methods of research were mainly experimental, we used anthropometric measurements of height, weight, body mass index and analyzed the parameters using statically and mathematical methods. The location of the study was the gymnasium level of the National College “Unirea” from Târgu Mureş, and involved 16 selected children with an average age 12.69 years old, 4 children with weight problems selected from every class level. The results of the investigation showed that the average height of the sample was 162.7 cm, weight 71 kg and a BMI average of 26.6. The BMI analyzed showed that obesity is an important factor in the apparition of other deficiencies, among students that were measured we also found 5 cases of kyphosis, 5 of scoliosis and 6 cases of flat feet. Conclusions of the investigation showed that BMI in youth is an important parameter in establishing the health level of children from gymnasium level and in preventing the apparition of the spine and feet deficiencies.

Summary Background: It has been reported that obesity is associated with metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, cardiovascular risk but also with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents is increasing rapidly all over the world. The aim of this study was to analyze the value of liver enzymes: AST, ALT and γGT in a group of obese students in order to establish their correlation to anthropometric parameters such as: BMI (body mass index), WC (waist circumference), HC (hip circumference), and WHR (waist-to-hip ratio) compared to non-obese students who comprised the control group (CG). Methods: In this study, 238 students from the University of Novi Sad of both sexes (126 men and 112 women) with a mean age of 22.32 ± 1.85 years were included. According to the body mass index (BMI) lower and higher than 25 kg/m2 and waist circumference (WC) lower and higher than 94 cm (80 cm for females) the whole group of 238 students was divided into 2 subgroups: the obese group at increased risk for CVD (Group 1) and the group at lower risk for CVD (Group 2). AST, ALT and γGT activities were determined in fasting blood samples. Results: Statistical processing data revealed significantly higher values of AST, ALT and γGT in the group of students with BMI>25 kg/m2, WC>94 cm for males and WC>80 cm for females, HC>108 cm for males and HC>111 cm for females, and WHR>0.90 for males and WHR>0.80 for females (P<0.001). Significant association was established between anthropometric parameters and liver enzyme levels (P<0.0001). Conclusions: Obese students with higher BMI, WC, HC and WHR values have higher liver enzyme activites and a higher chance to develop NAFLD in the future.

The aim of the work was to identify the features of biochemical blood parameters of Yakut men with type 2 diabetes depending on the Rees-Eizenk somatotype. We examined 40 men of yakut nationality with an established diagnosis of "type 2 diabetes", aged 38 to 69 years (average age 57,4 years). The anthropometric study included measurements of body length, body weight, body circumference (chest circumference, waist and buttock circumference), and body diameters (transverse diameter of the chest, anterior-posterior diameter of the chest). The body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Somatotyping was performed using the Rees-Eizenk index. The index value of the examined men was divided into pyknic, normosthenic and asthenic somatotype. Data from the biochemical blood test were copied from the patients ' medical history. All laboratory tests were conducted in the clinical and diagnostic laboratory of the Yakut city clinical hospital. Statistical processing of the obtained scientific material was carried out by the method of variation statistics using the SPSS application software package for Windows (version 17,0). The analysis was performed using parametric and nonparametric statistics. An anthropometric study of men with type 2 diabetes found that half of the subjects were obese according to their body mass index. A somatotypological study on the Rees-Eizenk index found a predominance of individuals with a pyknical somatotype. Asthenic somatotype was not detected in the examined group. More pronounced deviations of biochemical parameters of the pyknic men's blood from the standard parameters were found. The data obtained indicate a greater susceptibility to the development of type 2 diabetes in men with a pyknical somatotype.

AbstractBased on the German Socio-Economic Panel, the correlation between the body mass index, health, earnings and life satisfaction is analysed by gender. The previous literature has found no consistent results. This might have several reasons. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the gender-specific role of weight in single equation, piecewise and simultaneous equations models. We ask whether this distinction is important for the degree of association between health, earnings, satisfaction and body weight. In our context, piecewise modelling means a separate inspection of weight coefficients for under- and overweight people, allowing the detection of non-linear influences. As a benchmark, we begin our estimations under the assumption that the association between health, earnings, satisfaction, and weight is the same for under- and overweight people, and that there are no jointly dependent influences between our three outcome variables. The basic results are: health worsens, income declines and satisfaction is poorer with higher body mass index. If the association with weight is separately determined for over- and underweight people, the estimates show striking differences between overweight men and women. Underweight women earn more and overweight less than others. For normal-weight men the income is on average higher than for over- and underweight men but this difference is insignificant. When matching and instrumental variables procedures are applied, the health outcome for overweight people matches that of independent and unmatched estimates. Stronger positive effects on health are found for underweight women. No clear-cut advantages in income of overweight women can be found. Underweight women and especially underweight men tend to be less happy. For overweight men this influence is ambiguous but more speaks in favour of a lesser level of satisfaction. Overweight women seem to be happier.
