Regional body composition changes with aging. Some of the changes in composition are considered major risk factors for developing obesity related chronic diseases which in turn may lead to increased mortality in adults. The role of anthropometry is well recognized in the screening, diagnosis and follow-up of adults for risk classification, regardless of age. Regional body composition is influenced by a number of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Therapeutic measures recommended to lower cardiovascular disease risk include lifestyle changes. The aim of this review is to systematically summarize studies that assessed the relationships between anthropometry and regional body composition. The potential benefits and limitations of anthropometry for use in clinical practice are presented and suggestions for future research given.
身体成分的区域变化随衰老而发生。成分的一些变化被认为是发展与肥胖相关的慢性疾病的主要风险因素,而这些慢性疾病反过来可能导致成年人死亡率增加。无论年龄大小,人体测量学在成年人的风险分类筛查、诊断和随访中的作用已得到充分认可。身体成分的区域受到多种内在和外在因素的影响。推荐的降低心血管疾病风险的治疗措施包括生活方式改变。本综述的目的是系统地总结评估人体测量学与身体成分区域之间关系的研究。介绍了人体测量学在临床实践中使用的潜在益处和局限性,并给出了未来研究的建议。
