Antonets T. Anthropogenetic criteria of allergic rhinitis origin among the teen-agers of Podolian region of Ukraine

The dissertation is devoted to exploration of the peculiarities of connection of anthropometric, somatotypical, dermatoglyphical indexes, antigens of blood system AB0 and Rh with allergic rhinites development among the urban teen-agers of Podolian re-gion of Ukraine. The author was the first to detect the fact that teen-agers of different sexes suffering from different types of al-lergic rhinites have "diathesis" (subpathologic) constitutional types, which are characterized by different-directed mutations of overall and longitudinal sizes of body; magnitude of distant epiphysis, enfolding body sizes, cellulocutaneous folds thickness. The gained results confirmed the value of distinguishing of "der-matoglyphical types" and peculiarities of distribution of erythro-cytic antigens of blood system AB0 and Rh for study of individual and typological peculiarities of allergic rhinites origin. Basing on the anthropogenetic research, the discriminant models of origin of season and all-the-year-round allergic rhinites among the urban teen-agers of Podolian region of Ukraine were elaborated for the first time.
