Abstract:
Violation of the formation of menstrual function in adolescent girls of the puberty is a widespread phenomenon, that is greatly affected with age-related aspects. Since the factors affecting the body will be forming the anthropometric and somatotypological indicators of the body of girls differently, it is therefore advisable to divide them according to narrow age categories: 12-14 years, 14-15 years. And 16-18 years old. 288 adolescent females were examined, 58 of which with abnormal uterine bleeding were included in the main group, 230 actually healthy girls of the same age were included in the comparison group. General clinical, ultrasound, laboratory, anthropometric, somatotypological and statistical research methods were used. Analysis of the data obtained was carried out using the program "STATISTICA 5.5" using non-parametric methods for evaluating the results. The aim: to predict the development of abnormal uterine bleeding using discriminant function, according to the age categories. Anthropometric, somatotypological and statistical research methods. After examination of girls of different age categories, we obtained results according to which for girls aged 14-15 in predicting the AUB pathognomonic indicators were Mateyko body mass fat component according to Mateyko, transverse lower pit size, circumference of the chest in a state of rest and in a state of maximum exhale, the distal epiphysis of the forearm, the ectomorphic component of the Mateyko according to Heath-Carter, the width of the distal epiphysis of the hip and the external conjugate. Girls of 16-18 years old have relevant indicators such as transverse lower pit size, body mass fat component according to Mateyko, chest circumference in a state of maximum exhale, thickness of the skin-fat fold under the shoulder, on the chest, on the abdomen and side, the width of the distal epiphysis of the femur. Thus, we have characterized the patterns of the occurrence of abnormal uterine bleeding for girls 14-15 y. and 16-18 y.e respectively.
