Peculiarities of the morphological constitution of diabetic patients

The problem of the relationship between morphological constitution and certain diseases has long attracted the attention of researchers. Diabetes is an example of such a disease. It is known that the insulin-independent type of diabetes is predisposed to people with excessive fat deposition, but the type of morphological constitution is often not taken into account when analyzing these relationships. The latter reflects the hormonal background of an organism and allows to judge the endocrine status of an individual over a rather long period of time, to evaluate retrospectively the peculiarities of endocrine glands functioning. That is why the study of morphological constitution of patients with the most widespread endocrine pathology - diabetes mellitus - is of practical and theoretical interest in terms of the possible development of anthropometric markers of predisposition to diabetes and further specification of its pathogenesis.
