POSSIBILITY OF PREDICTING CHANGES IN BLOOD PRESSURE VALUES FOR SOMATOTYPE MEN HYPERTENSIVES STAGE I-II

Abstract

The purpose. To study the value of changes in blood pressure depending on the somatotype of men with hypertension stage I–II.

Materials and methods. Anthropometric, somatometric the definition somatotype on Bunak (1941), SMAD, statistical.

Results. Main results of research carried out by us revealed that in most cases among men with hypertension stage I–II prevailed abdominal somatic (47 %) and muscle (26 %), a smaller percentage of cases – the thoracic (15 %) and uncertain (12 %). According to the degree of reduction in blood pressure overnight – dominated patients «dippers» and «non-dippers» almost the same percentage (41 and 39 %), to a much lesser extent – «over-dippers» (15 %) and «night-peakers» (5 %). The findings showed that among men with hypertension stage I–II «dipper» was more common in patients thoracic somatotype (53,3 %), «non-dipper» – the representatives of the muscle (46,2 %), «over-dipper» – men indefinite somatotype (16,6 %), «night-peaker» in greater percentage of cases were from muscle (7,6 %) and breast somatotype (6,7 %).

Conclusion. Аccording to our data, about 50 % of men with hypertension stage I–II have an insufficient degree of reduction in blood pressure and night belong to the abdominal, thoracic and muscular somatotype. Normal degree of nocturnal blood pressure reduction over 50 % of cases were determined only in those breast-somatotype. Therefore persons abdominal, thoracic and muscular somatotype possible to presuppose an increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, while persons of indeterminate somatotype – smaller.
