title: [Anthropometric parameters and body composition in girls with Shereshevsky-Turner syndrome].
abstract: Anthropometric parameters, body composition and somatotype distribution were examined in 91 girl with Shereshevsky-Turner syndrome, which develops as a result of sex chomosome anomaly. Somatotype definition was carried out using V.P. Chtetzov method, while osseous age was determined radiographically. Among the patients with Shereshevsky-Turner syndrome studied, marked prevalence of those with leptosomal constitution (82.3%) and stenoplastic somatotype (70.6%) was detected. Patients with megalosomatic constitution were rare: subathletic and auriplastic somatotypes were detected in 5.9% each, athletic somatotype was absent. These regularities may be associated not only with a sex chromosome anomaly, but with severe hormonal disbalance, which developed in this disease.
