Abstract

A study of immunological parameters and axes of morphological status in adolescents showed that parameters of cellular or humoral immunity correlated with different axes of morphological typology. The immune status with suppressed T-cell immunity was associated with the mesomorphic axis of the somatotype and the expression of B-cell immunity was associated with the endomorphic axis of the somatotype. The correlations of immunological and serological parameters with somatotype axes indicate that individual typological variations in the immune status are essentially determined by morphological (constitutional) features of the body during puberty.
