The purpose of this research was to determine anthropometric paticulars and somatotype with different types of MS in women. 54 patients with MS in three groups (27- Relapsing-Remitting, 16 secondary progressive, 11 primary progressive) and 20 health women as the control group participated in this research. Body Composition Analyzer was used to measure the particularities of anthropometry and Heath-Carter somathotype for determination of somatotype. Chi-square test was used to reviewe the relationship between research parameters with different types of MS. Independent t-test was used to compare the research parameters among health and MS women. The results demonestrated a meaningful relation among particularities of anthropometry in weight, body mass index, percent of fat, waist to hip ratio and lean body mass with different types of MS in women (P<0.05), and no meaningful relation with height, length of upper body and lower body index with different types of MS disease (P> 0.05). There is meaningful relation between somatotype and types of MS (P<0.05), meaningful difference among MS and health women in height, length of upper body and lean body mass, no meaningful difference between length of lower body, weight, body mass index, percent of fat, waist to hip ratio and fat mass. By regarding the results, MS women with relapsing-Remitting, fat and mesomorphs specially from types of progressive, is primary progressive ones.
