Introduction. The spleen is an indicator of a large number of pathological conditions. The most informative method for evaluating the size of the spleen and its structure is ultrasound. Correct assessment of the morphometric parameters of the spleen obtained during ultrasound examination should be carried out taking into account the gender, age, anthropometric and somatotypological characteristics of the subject.Purpose of work. To determine the morphometric standard of the spleen norm, to establish the relationship between the quantitative parameters of the organ and anthropometric indicators of practically healthy female individuals of the first period of adulthood in the Donetsk region.Material and methods. Object of research: 60 conditionally healthy women aged 21 to 35 years. At the first stage of the work, an ultrasound examination of the spleen was performed. The following morphometric parameters were determined: the length, width and thickness of the spleen, and the volume of the spleen was calculated. Next, the anthropometry of the subjects was performed in order to determine the somatotype using the method of B. H. Heath аnd D. L. Carter. The results were processed in the Statistica 10 application software package. Results and discussion. The results of somatotyping of the subjects suggest that endo-mesomorphic and meso-endomorphic somatotypes predominate among women of the first period of adulthood in the Donetsk region.The average value of the growth index of all subjects was 165.5±0.7 cm, body weight – 59.7±1.0 kg; the average value of the spleen length obtained by ultrasound was 10.9±0.1 cm, width-5.8±0.1 cm. The median organ thickness was 4.7±0.1 cm, and the spleen volume was 154.8±5.4 cm3.At the next stage of the work, the presence of a linear correlation between the values of the studied indicators was determined both independently of the somatotype and in individuals with the most common endo – mesomorphic somatotype.All subjects had an average positive linear correlation between the length and width of the spleen. In individuals of endo-mesomorphic body type, average positive linear correlations were established between the height and length of the spleen, weight and length of the organ, as well as between the length of the spleen and its width.Conclusions. The average values of morphometric parameters of the spleen can ould be used as an ultrasound standard of norm. Were established the relationship between quantitative parameters of the spleen and anthropometric parameters of women of the first period of adulthood in the Donetsk region.
