Abstract:

Objective To analyze the development and characteristics of citizens’ body composition and fat distribution along with the age growth in Lanzhou, in order to provide theoretical basis for the physical health. Methods The somatotype of 1357 adults was studied using the Japanese MC-180 type body composition analyzer(bioelectrical impedance method ). Results The body fat rate and waist-to-hip ratio(WHR)were increased with the age growth in 20-79 age group. The trend of total protein, quantity of muscle, presumption of bone mass, body moisture and body mass index(BMI)increased first before they were reduced. Between the male and the female, the change of visceral fat was same, but the subcutaneous fat was different after they were increased first. Conclusion The trend of abdominal obesity shows in 20-in male and 40- age in female. The quantitative value already beyond the scope of alert shows in 30- in males, 60- in females.
