肥胖相关测量学指标及老年人群肥胖的测量研究进展

Research advances in obesity related anthropometric indexes and measurement of obesity in the elderly

肥胖与多种人类致死性疾病相关,已成为危害人类健康和生命的重要公共卫生问题,如何真实准确地反映肥胖状态和脂肪蓄积分布情况受到研究者们的广泛关注。由于脂肪分布和含量的检测花费大,对器材和人群的适配度要求很高,近年来催生了多种新兴人体测量学指标,而老年人群由于自然老化导致身高的测准存在难度,肥胖也有其人群特点,本文对传统和新兴的肥胖相关测量指标进行了总结,并关注分析了老年人群肥胖的测量。

Obesity relates to fatal diseases and does harm to human’s health. How to accurately reflect the status of obesity or the distribution of adipose tissue has attracted increasing attention of researchers. Due to the high cost of accurate detection of adipose tissue distribution, a variety of new anthropometric indicators have been structured in recent years. However, it is difficult to measure the height of the elderly as natural aging with its population characteristics. This paper summarizes the research progress of obesity related anthropometric indicators and the measurement of obesity in the elderly.
