Authors:

Abstract:

It was established that in Ukrainian men with alopecia areata overall, as well as in those with grade I, II, and III severity, compared with practically healthy men, the value of the ectomorphic somatotype component (respectively decreased by 43.87 % – 30.57 % – 51.79 % – 59.55 %) and the bone component of body mass calculated according to Matejko’s formulas (respectively decreased by 16.24 % – 18.01 % – 14.29 % – 16.02 %) were significantly lower. In contrast, the muscle and fat components of body mass according to Matiegka (respectively increased by 14.00 % – 11.07 % – 15.34 % – 18.09 % and by 11.61 % – 6.00 % – 15.43 % – 15.82 %), as well as, except for grade I severity, the muscle component of body mass calculated according to the formulas of the American Institute of Nutrition (respectively increased by 11.55 % – 13.39 % – 17.30 %), were significantly higher or showed a tendency toward higher values. Among Ukrainian men with alopecia areata, most comparisons demonstrated tendencies toward higher values in patients with grade II severity for the endomorphic somatotype component (by 7.37 %) and fat mass according to Matejko (by 10.03 %), as well as in patients with grade III severity for muscle mass according to Matejko (by 7.90 %) and the American Institute of Nutrition (by 10.48 %), and fat mass according to Matejko (by 10.46 %), compared with patients with grade I severity.
