The main purpose of this study is to analyze the total body fat in order to understand the adult body typos in big cities. The total body fat of the adult measure by female, from 21 to 61 years of age.
The date obtained are analyzed and compared according to age groups. I measured skinfold tickness of the chest, triceps, subscapular, suprailiac, abdominal and thigh. I calculated the body types by sch eldon’s antoroposcopy method, the body fat amount by Gatchell’s and sinning’s regression equation. The a result of this survey is as foolows;
1) Body type measurements: The average of endomorph by antoroposcopy is 33% for the male, 47% for the female. The average of mesomorph by antoroposopy is 44.6% for the male, 46.2% for the female. The average of ectomorph by antoroposcoph is 21.9% for the male, 6.8% for the female.
2) physique measurement;
The average of body height by antropometric is 167.6cm for the male, 154.3cm for the female
The average of body weight by antropometric is 65.5㎏ for the male, 54.3㎏ for the female.
The difference between height and weight is 101.9 for the male, 100.2 for the female.
The average of chest girth by antropometric is 93.1cm for the male, 87.1cm for the female.
The average of abdominal girth by antropometric is 8.25cm for the male, 80.6cm for the female.
The difference between chest girth and abdominal girth is 10.2cm for the male, 6.4cm for the female
3) The means of skinfold tickness measured with a Elyoken type skinfold caliper is:
< i >The age groups:
chest: The means of skinfold tickness is 13.9㎜ for the male, 19.9㎜ for the female.
The standard deviations of skinfold tickness is 6.46 for the male, 4.46 for the female.
triceps: The means of skinfold thickness is 12.3㎜ for the mate, 15.4㎜ for the female.
The standard deviations of skinfold tickness is 6.03 for the male, 5.40 for the female.
subscapular: The means of skinfold tickness is 18.3㎜ for the male, 22.8㎜ for the female.
The standard deviations of skinfold tickness is 8.00 for the male, 4.87 for the female.
suprailiac; The means of skinfold tickness is 21.5㎜ for the male, 27.7㎜ for the female.
The standard deviations of skinfold tickness is 10.08 for the male, 7.43 for the female.
abdominal: The means of skinfold tickness is 27.9㎜ for the male, 32.5 ㎜ for the female.
The standard deviations of skinfold tickness is 10.81 for the male, 8.99 for the female.
thigh: The means of skinfold tickness is 17.4 for the male, 21.1㎜ for the female.
The standard deviations of skinfold tickness is 7.06㎜ for the male, 4.16 for the female.
< ii >The occupation groups:
For the male, The measurement of skinfold tickness chest (14.6㎜), subscapular (19.8㎜), suprailiac (23.8㎜), abdominal (27.2㎜) and thigh (19.0㎜) of the businessman-is higher than that of other occupations.
The measurement of skinfold tickness-triceps (12.8㎜) of the officeman is higher than that of the other occupations. The measurement of skinfold tickness chest (8.1㎜) triceps (8.8㎜), subscapular (13.3㎜), suprailiac (12.6㎜), abdominal (12.3㎜), and thigh (10.9㎜) of the student is for smaller than that of the other occupations. For the female, The measurement of skinfold tickness-chest (18.2㎜), triceps (14.4㎜), subscapula (20.0㎜) suprailiac (23.6㎜), abdominal (27.3㎜) and thigh (17.0㎜) of the occupations is-more variable than-chest (20.3㎜) triceps (14.5㎜), subscapula (20.3㎜), suprailiac (25.5㎜) abdominal (31.7㎜), and thigh (18.9㎜) -of the inoccupations.
4) The regression equation of body fat weight yields the following result:
The male: fat weight=11,9㎏. fat free weight=53,6㎏. percent of fat=18%. body density=1,057gm/cc.
The female: iat weight=13,7㎏. fat free weight=40,5㎏. percent of fat=25,1%. body density=1,040gm/cc.
The female value is higher then the male.
