Body mass index and other anthropometric parameters of the physical state in relation with age and individual-typological specific of women constitution
AbstractThe physical state of body construction of 651 practically health women 20–55 years old were studied by using a complex of anthropometric and bioelectric methods (conditional norm, slavonians, inhabitants of Moscow region). The leptosome constitutional group was established in 152 cases (23.3%), mesosome group was exposes in 259 cases (39.8%), megalosome group was revealed in 189 cases (29.0%) and indeterminate group was fixed in 78 cases (8.0%). Women of mesoplastic somatotype were established in 26.9%, sthenoplastic somatotype – in 16.7%, picnic somatotype – in 13.7%, subathletic somatorype – in 11.5%, euriplastic somatotype – in 12.3%, athletic somatotype – in 5.2% and asthenic somatotype – in 1.7%. Sizes and weight parameters were depending on type of women body construction. Norm of body mass index for asthenic women was fixed as 16.9; for sthenoplastic somatotype – 20.3; for athletic somatotype – 23.1; for subathletic somatotype – 24.2; for mesoplastic somatotype – 24.6; for euriplastic somatotype – 24.7; for picnic somatotype – 26.2. The length of women body was varied from 158.2±0.5 (152.0–165.0) cm for sthenoplastic somatotype and 159.6±0.4 (152.0–164.8) cm for mesoplastic somatotype to 169.4±1.7 (162.2–187.4) cm for athletic somatotype. Body weight was also in correspondence with type of constitution. It was 47.8±0.6 (44.2–54.6) kg for asthenic somatotype, 50.6±0.4 (42.6–54.2) kg for sthenoplastic somatotype, 62.2±0.2 (56.3–64.9) kg for mesoplastic somatotype, 68.6±0.7 (64.5–82.7) kg for picnic somatotype, 66.2±1.0 (62.0–76.5) kg for athletic somatotype, 68.2±1.0 (63.4–76.5) kg for subathletic somatotype and 75.0±1.0 (68.4–92.5) kg for euriplastic somatotype. Mass of bone component was minimal for women of picnic somatotype (6.4±0.1 kg) as well as asthenic somatotype (7.3±0.3 kg) and maximal for subathletic (9.3±0.1 kg) and euriplastic (9.4±0.1 kg) somatotypes. Skeletal muscles mass was varied from 18.7±0.4 kg (asthenic somatotype) to 30.2±0.4 kg (athletic somatotype). Fat tissue mass was varied from 7.0±0.2 kg (asthenic somatotype) to 32.2±0.2 kg (euriplastic somatotype). There were established intercommunications between women constitutional characteristics and pecualiarities of their body construction.
