Abstract

One of the most common diseases in men in the second period of adulthood, in elderly and old ages is "#Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).” Moreover, if at the age of about 40-49 years, it occurs in 11.3% of men, after 80 years it is found in 95.5% [7]. The etiology of #prostate adenoma (BPH) exists in the form of hypotheses and it's in many respects controversial. To establish the most common #somatotype of patients with prostatic adenoma (PA) according to the index of Tanner and Rees- Eysenck body index. We examined 150 patients with morphologically confirmed diagnosis who were operated in the urology departments of Krasnoyarsk hospitals. The patients' age was 61-74 years (mean age 67,7 ± 1,3). Standard anthropometry was made to all of them in 27 parameters [1-3] with the calculation of osteometric indices of Rees-Eysenck [3-4] and Tanner according to the known formulas [1-2]. #Anthropometric data taken from the healthy men of the same age were used as a comparison group [5,6]. Statistical data management was made using the Student's test and x2. Differences were considered significant at p <0.05. Determination of patient somatotype by Rees-Eysenck index showed that men of pyknic somatotype made up 47,4% (men of the population - 78,6%; P<0,05), normosthenic type -40,6% (13,9%P<0,05), asthenic type - 12% (7,5%; P<0,05).
