Fat patterning of adolescents
The relationship between fatfold thickness and fat mass of 101 male and 66 female adolescents (10–16 yr) was examined with the allometric equation y = bx a . Body composition was assessed by underwater weighing and 5 fatfolds were measured: triceps, subscapular, suprailiac, abdominal, and thigh. Percent body fat ranged from 4.9% to 56.1%. The log of each fatfold thickness was plotted versus the log of fat mass. All the relationships were linear a…
Basal metabolism of obese adolescents
To test if obese adolescents systematically conserve energy, comparisons of basal metabolic rate (BMR) of obese, normal, and lean male and female adolescents were made. Obese had eleevated values by as much as 23% (P ≤ 0.05) expressed as kJ · 24 hr -1 compared to the normal and lean. When indexed to body mass (kJ · kg-BM -1 · hr -1 ), the BMR for the obese was depressed by as much as -53% (P ≤ 0.01), and when indexed to fat free mass (kJ · kg-FFM…
Fat patterning of adolescents
Fat patterning of 110 adolescent males and 80 adolescent females was determined by principal components analysis of five skinfolds (triceps, subscaplular, iliac, abdominal and thigh). Densiometrically determined body fatness was employed to create two groups: obese (greater than 30% fat) and non-obese (less than 30% fat). Three fat patterning components emerged: trunk-extremity, upper-lower trunk and medial-lateral abdomen. The first two componen…
Relationship of fat patterning to coronary artery disease risk in obese adolescents
Fatness and fat patterning of 27 male and 33 female obese adolescents were identified by principal‐components analysis of five skinfolds (triceps, subscapular, iliac, abdominal, and thigh). Correlations were computed between the component scores, based on the eigen vectors, and anthropometric and physiological variables. Overall fatness, component I, was highly correlated with all anthropometric and body composition variables. Also, component I s…
