Abstract

This work is devoted to studying males and females of two age groups (20 to 40 and 41 to 60 and older) suffering from Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Of these, 215 individuals are suffering from Type 1 (106 females and 109 males) and 252 individuals are suffering from Type 2 (137 females and 115 males). For the first time we present characteristics of body mass component distribution and constitutional specificity of patients with classic Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus for each age and sex group in comparison with healthy individuals. These results indicate that the severity and course of the disease have strong influence on the metabolic parameters of patients with diabetes mellitus, which indicates a strong correlation of the quantitative characteristics of body mass components with some biochemical factors of the disease. In this regard, anthropometrical methods of determining patients’ body mass components receive the highest value.
