In 19 towns and cities across Europe anthropometric data--body weight, height, skinfold thicknesses and circumferences--have been obtained from 2332 elderly subjects born between 1913 and 1918, according to a strictly standardized methodology. Large variations exist among research towns even within countries. For body weight, means ranged from 70.1 +/- 15.4 kg to 78.2 +/- 10.7 kg in men and from 56.8 +/- 8.1 to 71.4 +/- 11.4 kg in women. In the North European towns and cities both men and women were taller than their counterparts in the southern towns. Mean body mass index varied from 24.4 +/- 3.8 kg m-2 to 30.3 +/- 5.2 kg m-2 among men. In women the range of means was from 23.9 +/- 3.6 kg m-2 to 30.5 +/- 5.1 kg m-2. Triceps skinfold thicknesses suggest that females had more fat at subcutaneous sites than the males, and the waist-hip ratio was consistently lower in elderly women.
按照严格标准化的方法，在欧洲的19个城镇，已从2332名出生于1913年至1918年的老年受试者身上获取了人体测量数据——体重、身高、皮褶厚度和周长。即使在同一个国家，不同研究城镇之间也存在很大差异。就体重而言，男性的均值范围为70.1±15.4千克至78.2±10.7千克，女性为56.8±8.1千克至71.4±11.4千克。在北欧的城镇，男性和女性都比南部城镇的同龄人更高。男性的平均体重指数在24.4±3.8千克/平方米至30.3±5.2千克/平方米之间变化。女性的均值范围是23.9±3.6千克/平方米至30.5±5.1千克/平方米。肱三头肌皮褶厚度表明，女性皮下部位的脂肪比男性更多，老年女性的腰臀比始终较低。
