92名高校女生体质量指数腰围和皮褶厚度分析

Analysis of body mass index,waist circumference and skinfold thickness of 92 female college students

目的探讨体质量指数、腰围与皮褶厚度的关系。方法对92名高校护理专业女生检测其身高、体质量、腰围及皮褶厚度,并进行统计分析。结果高护专业女生体质量超标和肥胖率显著低于一般人群,体质量超标肥胖组的腰围、皮褶厚度显著大于正常体质量组。回归分析表明体质量指数与肩胛部、腹部皮褶厚度呈显著正关,腰围与上臂部、腹部皮褶厚度呈显著正关。结论高护专业女生体质量超标和肥胖率较低。评估体质量超标和肥胖时,除了检测体质量指数与腰围以外,还应检测皮褶厚度,尤其是腹部皮褶厚度。

Objective To explore the relationship among body mass index,waist circumference and skinfold thickness. Methods A total of 92 female nursing students in a college were selectd as study objects and their heights,weights, waist circumferences and skinfold thicknesses were measured and the results were analysed statisticaly. Results The rates of overweight and obesity of these female nursing students were lower than those of the generalpopulation.The sizes of waist circumference and skinfoldthickness in the overweight and obesity group were signiffcently bigger than those in the normal-weight group. The multiple linearregression showed that the body mass index was positively correlated with the subscapular skinfold and abdomen skinfold,and the waist circumference was positively correlated with the triceps skinfold and abdomen skinfold. Conclusion The rates of overweight andobesity of the female nursing students are low.The skinfoldthickness,especially abdomen skinfold should be examinedbesides body mass index and waist circumference for evaluating overweight and obesity.
