Abstract
|
|
|
The standard laboratory procedures for determining percent body fat, i.e., total body water, total body potassium, underwater weighting methods, etc. are accurate and generally applicable to laboratory science but they are far too complex and
time-consuming to be administered to large populations in school settings. Therefore, the present study compared two indirect, convenient methods of evaluating the degree of obesity-skinfold thickness method(ST method) and Rohrer index method(RI
method). And this study was accomplished to investigate the prevalence of obesity in junior high school boys and girls. Of 5279X=13.8years, 161.7cm, and 52kg) 206936.7%) were evaluated as obesity by either ST method or RI method. Only 95(17.8%)
were
found to be obese by both methods. The results indicate that the evaluation of obesity are influenced largely by the methods applied. Recognizing the need for simplifying the manner in which the assessment of body fat is made, great caution
should
be
pad when obesity is evaluated by indirect methods.
