Measurement of the Solovyov index helps to accurately and correctly determine the norms of weight, taking into account the three types of human physique. To calculate this index, you need to measure the circumference at the thinnest point of the wrist, in centimeters. The girth of this place indicates the size of the bone. This indicator allows you to establish the type of physique, the parameters of the human body, its proportionality and constitution. The Solovyov index must be taken into account when analyzing the physical condition of a person.
How to calculate the indicator
There are three body types that directly affect the shape of the body. Body type is a constant characteristic that depends on the heredity of a person. It must be taken into account, but cannot be changed. If the wrist girth is less than 15 (for women) and less than 18 (for men), then this type of physique is called asthenic. Girth from 15up to 17 (for women) and 18-20 (for men) speaks of a normosthenic body type. If the circumference of the wrist exceeds 17 (for women) and more than 20 (for men), then we can judge the hypersthenic body type.
Asthenic body type
If the Solovyov index is less than 15 for women and less than 18 for men, then this type is called asthenic. The body of the asthenic is fragile, it is characterized by a narrow chest and shoulders, thin bones and a long neck. As a rule, asthenics are tall, they are thin in nature. For this type of physique, the risk of developing the following diseases is increased: hypotension, neuroses, diseases of the abdominal organs, severe pulmonary tuberculosis, peptic ulcer.
Normosthenic body type
If the Solovyov index is from 15 to 17 in women and from 18 to 20 in men, then this indicates a normosthenic type. The normosthenic has a harmoniously built and developed body, a proportional length of the limbs and a strong skeleton. The chest is moderately wide. The majority of people belong to the normosthenic type. They are of average height and are prone to the following diseases: neuralgia, diseases of the musculoskeletal system and respiratory tract.
Hypersthenic body type
If the Solovyov index is more than 17 for women and more than 20 for men, then this indicates a hypersthenic body type. Hypersthenics outwardly look full due to the stocky figure. They are characterized by a short neck and limbs, a strong skeleton and a rounded chest.cell. People of the hypersthenic type, as a rule, are short in stature and have a dense build. Most often they are prone to diseases of the cardiovascular system, diabetes, gallstone disease and obesity.
The indicator of the Solovyov index is necessary to determine the body type of a person, which, in turn, allows you to predict which diseases he is more susceptible to developing. In addition, this indicator is used to calculate the ideal body weight.
Soloviev's index during pregnancy
During pregnancy, the determination of the Solovyov index helps to determine the thickness of the bones of a pregnant woman. Ideally, this figure is 14-16 cm. In order to establish the degree of narrowing of the pelvis, it is necessary to determine the size of the large pelvis, which makes it possible to indirectly judge the size of the small pelvis. To determine the exact dimensions, it is necessary to measure the large pelvis and subtract 9 cm from this value. If the Solovyov index is more than 16 cm, then the pelvic bones are considered thick, therefore 10 cm are subtracted from external measurements. If less than 16, then the pelvic bones are thin, and therefore take away 8 see
