Modeling Using Discriminant Analysis of the Possibility of Occurrence and Features of the Course of Various Forms of Urticaria in Ukrainian Women Depending on the Features of Anthropo-Somatotypological Indicators

The study aimed to develop discriminant models to predict the occurrence and course of urticaria in Ukrainian women based on anthropometric and somatotypological indicators. Conducted at the National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, the research involved 40 women with urticaria and 101 healthy controls. Using "Statistica 6.0," the models accurately classified women as healthy or with urticaria, and distinguished between mild and severe acute urticaria with 89.4% accuracy (Wilks' Lambda=0.080, p<0.001). However, distinguishing between mild and severe cases based on body structure was less reliable, with 52.5% accuracy (Wilks' Lambda=0.465, p<0.001).
