To observe the effect of age and menstrual status on body composition in healthy Beijing women.
We measured body composition with dual-energy X-ray (GE Lunar Prodigy) in 316 healthy Beijing females aged 20 to 74 years (5-7 cases per age). Parameters provided by the software were as following: total body bone mineral content, lean mass, fat mass and fat percentage (%fat). Local regions measured included arm, leg, trunk, android region and gynoid region. Body mass index (BMI), fat mass index (FMI), free fat mass index (FFMI) and A/G were calculated. Volunteers were assigned to 6 groups according age by every ten years a group.
BMC peaked during the 4th decade, LM peaked during the 5th decade, with a decline of 18.1% and 5.2% respectively at age 74 years. Total body fat mass and %fat showed a general increase with aging throughout the studied age range. Total body fat mass increased from 16+/-5 kg at age 20-29 years to 24+/-6 kg at age 70-74 years, while %fat increased from 31.3% to 39.5%. All local region %fat increased with aging at different extents. Android region %fat showed the largest raise extent (32.2%). BMI increased gradually from 21.1 kg/m2 at age 20-29 years to 26.1 kg/m2 at age 70-74 years. FMI changed more obviously than FFMI. A/G increased from 0.85 at age 20-29 years to 1.02 at age 70-74 years. Different menstrual status in women of 40-59 years had obvious effect on A/G and BMC (P<0.05), while it had no significant effect on BMI, body weight and waist circumference (P>0.05).
Aging and menstrual status have evident effect on body composition distribution in healthy Beijing women.
观察年龄和月经状态对健康北京女性身体成分的影响。
我们使用双能X线(GE Lunar Prodigy)对316名年龄在20至74岁的健康北京女性(每个年龄段5 - 7例)进行身体成分测量。软件提供的参数如下:全身骨矿物质含量、瘦体重、脂肪量和脂肪百分比(%脂肪)。测量的局部区域包括手臂、腿部、躯干、男性化区域和女性化区域。计算体重指数(BMI)、脂肪量指数(FMI)、去脂体重指数(FFMI)和A/G。志愿者按年龄每十岁分为一组,共分为6组。
骨矿物质含量(BMC)在第4个十年达到峰值;瘦体重(LM)在第5个十年达到峰值,在74岁时分别下降了18.1%和5.2%。在整个研究年龄范围内全身脂肪量和%脂肪总体上随年龄增长而增加。全身脂肪量从20 - 29岁时的16±5kg增加到70 - 74岁时 的24±6kg,而%脂肪从31.3%增加到39.5%。所有局部区域的%脂肪均随年龄增长有不同程度增加。男性化区域%脂肪增加幅度最大(32.2%)。BMI从20 - 29岁时的21.1kg/m²逐渐增加到70 - 74岁时的26.1kg/m²。FMI变化比FFMI更明显。A/G从20 - 29岁时的0.85增加到70 - 74岁时的1.02。40 - 59岁女性不同月经状态对A/G和BMC有明显影响(P<0.05),而对BMI、体重和腰围无显著影响(P>0.05)。
