The purpose of this study was to identify subpopulations at high risk for body composition assessment (BCA) failure within the Navy.
This study was an institutional review board-approved retrospective review of data retrieved from the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery Physical Readiness Information Management System. Data were considered clinically significant if a subpopulation's BCA failure rate was 10% or greater than that groups' gender average. The data obtained include the entire population, so no correction was necessary for sample bias and all differences are statistically significant.
The prevalence of obesity was 13.6%. High-risk populations included age 36 to 40, rank of E5 and E6, females with a height between 68 and 69 inches, females 161 lb or heavier, males 201 lb or heavier, females with a body mass index of 27 or greater, and males with a body mass index of 29 or greater.
This study identified multiple at risk populations for BCA failure. As we move forward with programs designed to combat increasing obesity rates, such as the Department of Defense Healthy Base Initiative, further resources and studies can be aimed toward these higher risk subpopulations.
本研究旨在确定海军中身体成分评估（BCA）失败风险较高的亚人群。
本研究是一项经机构审查委员会批准的回顾性研究，对从医学与外科学局体能准备信息管理系统中检索到的数据进行分析。如果一个亚人群的BCA失败率达到10%或高于该组的性别平均水平，则认为这些数据具有临床意义。所获得的数据涵盖了整个人口，因此无需对样本偏差进行校正，所有差异均具有统计学意义。
肥胖患病率为13.6%。高风险人群包括年龄在36至40岁之间、军衔为E5和E6的人员、身高在68至69英寸之间的女性、体重161磅或更重的女性、体重201磅或更重的男性、体重指数（BMI）为27或更高的女性以及BMI为29或更高的男性。
本研究确定了多个BCA失败风险较高的人群。随着我们推进旨在应对不断上升的肥胖率的项目，如国防部健康基地倡议，可将更多资源和研究针对这些高风险亚人群。
