Abstract

This work is devoted to the investigation of men and women from 20 to 40 years old with disorder as Type 2 diabetes mellitus (63 individuals: 37 women and 26 men), cystic fibrosis (29 individuals: 19 women and 10 men) and induced by steroids diabetes mellitus with bronchial asthma (39 individuals: 19 women and 20 men) in comparison to healthy people (123 individuals: 56 women and 67 men) and of the same age interval. This work first presents data on the comparative characteristics of somatic features that have patients that are ill with each of the multifactorial diseases. With the help of the anthropometrical investigation we found markers that characterize the type of pathology: the length of an arm and indicator of solidity of skeleton. It is necessary to pay attention not only on the biochemical parameters, but also on the morphologic type of patients that will most accurately assess the nature of the carbohydrate disorders and understand their reasons.
