This work is devoted to the investigation of men and women from 20 to 40 years old that are ill with cystic fibrosis (29 individuals: 19 women and 10 men) in comparison to healthy people (123 indi-viduals: 56 women and 67 men) and patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (63 individuals : 37 women and 26 men) of the same age interval. This work first presents data on the anthropometrical characteristics and distribution of body mass components of patients with cystic fibrosis in comparison to healthy people and individuals that are ill with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. All patients with cystic fibrosis are character-ized by relatively gracile body type with low values of fat, bony and muscle components. With the help of the anthropometrical investigation we found markers that characterize the type of pathology: the length of an arm, pelvic diameter 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 disorders, understand their reasons and will open new opportunities to diagnose the type of disease and to understand some peculiarities of treatment.
