BIOIMPEDANCE ANALYSIS OF BODY COMPOSITION AND ITS RELATION TO MORPHOMETRIC PARAMETERS OF THE SCROTUM IN CHILDREN WITH DIABETES MELLITUS

Аннотация

This article examines the effect of bioimpedance analysis of body composition on the morphometric parameters of the scrotum in children with diabetes mellitus. The use of bioimpedance analysis allows for a more accurate assessment of body composition, including the ratio of muscle and adipose tissue, which is important when monitoring the health of children with diabetes. We investigated the relationship between these indicators and changes in the morphometry of the scrotum, which can serve as an additional indicator for assessing the general state of health and endocrine function in children. The study involved 30 children aged 6 to 12 years with a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus. The results showed that changes in body composition, such as an increase in fat mass and a decrease in muscle tissue, correlate with changes in the morphometry of the scrotum. These data emphasize the importance of comprehensive diagnosis in diabetes mellitus for the timely detection of possible disorders in the reproductive and endocrine systems.
