The results were as follows: (1) The average skinfold thickness are higher in female at every age group. (2) As a whole, the skinfold thickness in the body of trunk is bigger than that in the limbs in both male and female. The curves of biceps skinfold thickness and calf skinfold thickness of male doesn't fluctuate with age. Body fat percentage of male was the lowest in the 30s group. In female, the skinfold thickness of trunk and triceps increase with age while calf skinfold decreases. Body fat percentage of female increases with age but then decreases after 50 years old. (3) The mean vales of Mulam skinfold thickness are relatively low compared with Daur, Uzbek and Han nationality.展开更多
