AGE-RELATED ASPECTS OF OSTEOARTHRITIS IN WOMEN

Abstract

A survey of 122 women with osteoarthritis of large and small joints, permanently residing in the environmental conditions of the city of Samarkand and the Samarkand Territory, was conducted, the purpose of which was to determine the somatometric characteristics of these patients, depending on age. The objectives of the study included conducting an anthropometric and somatometric examination and establishing body types in women with osteoarthritis in the age aspect. Somatotyping allowed us to establish that the majority of the studied women with osteoarthritis had a megalosomal constitution. The component composition of the body of women with osteoarthritis in the age aspect indicated that older patients differed in lower indicators of height, body weight and body mass index (BMI). The percentage of fat mass in catfish in these women was higher than in women of the second mature age, and bone and muscle mass tended to decrease. The results of the study can be used in practice to identify the risk group of women with ostearthritis in relation to osteopenic and sarcopenic syndromes and to carry out preventive and therapeutic measures.
