Abstract

An anthropometric research was carried out in 183 persons of both sexes with endogenous psychosis. The examined were 20-65 years of age and previously treated in the Special Psychiatric Hospital at Gornja Toponica near Nis. Body height, weight and mean chest circumference were analyzed. By the relationships of analyzed parameters Rohrer's index of body fullness and Pignet's index of body constitution were calculated. The results of the biometric research show that the mean values of examined parameters are within the borders adequate to normal population, but by aging those values decrease a bit sooner (after the age of 50). In females of all age groups very high values of Rohrer's index (above 1,50) were established. According to Pignet's index of body constitution, a higher percentage of male patients with weak and bad physical constitution, compared to females, was determined.
