Comparison of body composition in middle‐aged and elderly males using computed tomography
Computed tomography (CT) scans were taken of 21 middle‐aged men (mean age 46.3 years) and 20 older men (mean age 69.4 years) to measure differences in body composition with age. Overall, the older men weighed 8.2 kg less than the middle‐aged men, and this difference was primarily the result of their having less lean tissue. Although fat mass (by whole body potassium counting) was only slightly less in older men, there were distributional differen…
Relationships between computed tomography tissue areas, thicknesses and total body composition
Computed tomography (CT) scanning was evaluated for its potential application to body-composition research. Three cross-sections (upper leg, abdomen, chest including upper arms) were scanned in 41 healthy men (mean age 57.6 years). Subcutaneous fat thicknesses measured at specific sites on the CT scans were correlated with the total area of fat from the same scans. For the chest and leg cross-sections, correlations were highly significant. Subcut…
Comparison of ultrasound and skinfold measurements in assessment of subcutaneous and total fatness
Ultrasound (A‐scan mode) and skinfold methods were evaluated in the measurement of subcutaneous fat thickness and prediction of total fat weight (by whole body potassium counting). Based on intraobserver correlations on 39 men at 15 body sites, skinfold caliper measurements were more reproducible than ones obtained by ultrasound. Measurements made with the two techniques at the same site typically produced different mean estimates of fat thicknes…
Physical anthropological approaches to aging
The field of gerontology is remarkably diverse; yet there has been relatively little investigation of physical anthropological issues in aging research. This review explores gerontologic topics of actual and/or potential interest to physical anthropologists. The evolution of aging presents a theoretical dilemma in that postreproductively expressed traits may be outside the influence of natural selection. The physiological changes of aging compris…
