Materials and methods. Data are presented on clinical morphological features of the course of chronic Helicobacter pylori (HP) -associated gastroduodenitis in children depending on the somatotypes and their effect on the nature and prognosis of the disease. A cross-sectional study of 100 patients aged 4 to 17 with the diagnosis Chronic gastroduodenitis was conducted. The control group was 73 patients diagnosed with urinary tract infection from the same age category (4—17 years), without chronic gastroduodenitis in anamnesis, who were in hospital treatment in the pediatrician department. Assessment of age, gender structure, constitution types with identification of some constitutional features, in particular big susceptibility of asthenics to functional violations of an esophagogastric zone (p ≤ 0.05) is made.Results. There is a persistent trend towards a lighter clinical flow of chronic gastroduodenitis in asthenics (development of superficial gastroduodenitis) compared to normosthenics (hypertrophic and erosive gastroduodenitis) (p &lt; 0.05). Hypersthenics are susceptible to esophageal lesions in the form of esophagitis (p &lt; 0.05).
