Abstract
|
|
|
This study was to investigate if Body mass Index(BMI) is adequate as a method of physique classification of Korean female college students, For this study 571 students were selected to examine physique classification by anthropometric index, and
the
correlation between the various, anthropometric index and risk facters(blood pressure, triglyceride, hematocrit).
@ES The following results were obtained by this study.
@EN 1) Average age of the subjects is 19.6. height 158.2cm and weight 54.4kg.
2) All anthropometric indices and body fat percentage are highly correlated(r>0.713), among them BMI shows high and significant positive correlation with weight(r=0.919) and skinfold thickness(r>0.601), but negative correlation with
height(r=-0.086).
3) All anthropometric indices and body fat percentage show significant correlation with blood pressure and triglyceride. Among them BMI shows high and significant positive correlation with blood pressure and triglyceride.
4) FAT%III calculated of BMI shows significant correlation with FAT%I and FAT%II by skinfold thickness, and high correlation with blood pressure and triglyceride. Therefore FAT%III is adequate for calculation method of body fat percentage.
