Сorrelation between somatotypes and body fat changes in patients with liver cirrhosis

Objective. To evaluate the nature of changes in body fat composition cirrhotic patients various somatotypes. Materials and methods . The data 46 20 volunteers were analyzed. Anthropometric examination was carried out according to methodological requirements with assessing by means bioimpedance analysis using ABC-01 Medass system (NTC Medass, Russia). Somatotypes determined Heath–Carter method. Ranks for somatotype scale assigned as endomorphy scores increased. Spearman rank correlation used identify relationships between variables. Differences continuous variables Mann–Whitney test. Statistical performed Statistica 10 (StatSoft Inc., USA). Results. Child–Pugh men women 9 (7.3–11.8) 7 (6–9), respectively. Body percentage (BFP) accounted 27.7% (23.3–33) 41.2% (33.6–46.3) women. In healthy volunteers, BFP 21.9% (13.9–26.3) 32.7% (29.3–41.6) Assessment liver cirrhosis severity characterized a coefficient r = -0.47528 (p-value < 0.001). A significant negative somatotypes (r -0.30536, p 0.03905). Conclusion. results this study emphasize degrees severity. sum endomorphic indicators demonstrated inverse relationship, which must be taken into account when developing mathematical models personalized prognosis cirrhosis.
