We measured body size and composition in 54 South Asian and 17 white European pupils aged 11 and 12 attending secondary schools in Leicester, UK. Body fat percentage, assessed by bio-impedance, was higher in South Asians after adjustment for potential confounders.

摘要

我们对英国莱斯特市54名11岁和12岁的南亚裔学生以及17名白人欧洲裔学生进行了身体尺寸和成分测量，这些学生均就读于当地中学。经生物电阻抗评估得出的体脂百分比，在对潜在混杂因素进行调整后，南亚裔学生的该指标更高。
