The purpose of the study was to compare changes in fat distribution in association with obesity and puberty in adolescent boys and girls. Fat areas at the ulnar, triceps, thigh, and calf regions were measured in normal weight prepubertal children (P) and adolescents (N), and overweight adolescents (O). There were significant differences in fat areas at the four sites between N and O of both sexes, especially in the proximal extremities (triceps, thigh) in boys. On the other hand, fat areas on the extremities of N boys and girls were not significantly different from those of P children except for thigh fat area in girls. It is suggested that pubertal maturation in girls, but not in boys, is associated with increased adiposity on the legs, particularly in the proximal regions, and that there are sex differences between changes in fat distribution associated with puberty and obesity. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
该研究的目的是比较青春期男孩和女孩中与肥胖及青春期相关的脂肪分布变化。对正常体重的青春期前儿童（P）、青少年（N）和超重青少年（O）的尺侧、肱三头肌、大腿和小腿区域的脂肪面积进行了测量。男女的N组和O组在这四个部位的脂肪面积存在显著差异，尤其是男孩的近端肢体（肱三头肌、大腿）。另一方面，N组男孩和女孩四肢的脂肪面积与P组儿童相比，除了女孩的大腿脂肪面积外，没有显著差异。研究表明，女孩而非男孩的青春期成熟与腿部尤其是近端区域的肥胖增加有关，并且与青春期和肥胖相关的脂肪分布变化存在性别差异。© 1996威利 - 利斯公司。
