The data for the present study consist of 502 Jat-Sikh and 510 Bania females of Punjab (India), ranging in age from 20 to 80 years. The different components of the body i.e. fat, bone mineral, total body water and cell solids have been calculated from anthropometric measurements by applying different equations given by various investigators. While studying age changes in different components of the body, it is the fat component, which has undergone major fluctuations past maturity. It has increased significantly from age-group 20-29 to 40-49 in both Jat-Sikh and Bania females. A significant decrease in fat has been observed from age-group 60-69 to 70 +. The bone minerals have exhibited little changes with age. The total body water and cell solids show a significant increase from age-group 20-29 to 30-39, followed by a decrease in both the communities. The decrease in these two components is statistically significant from age-group 40-49 to 50-59 in Bania females only. While comparing the two communities it has been observed that bone minerals are significantly larger in Jat-Sikh females, and fat is significantly larger in Bania females except in the last two age-groups. The other two components i.e. total body water and cell solids show statistically non-significant differences in the two communities.
本研究的数据包括502名旁遮普邦（印度）的贾特 - 锡克族女性和510名巴尼亚族女性，年龄在20至80岁之间。通过应用不同研究者给出的不同公式，根据人体测量数据计算出身体的不同组成部分，即脂肪、骨矿物质、全身水和细胞固体。在研究身体不同组成部分的年龄变化时，脂肪成分在成熟后经历了主要波动。在贾特 - 锡克族和巴尼亚族女性中，从20 - 29岁年龄组到40 - 49岁年龄组，脂肪显著增加。从60 - 69岁年龄组到70岁及以上年龄组，脂肪显著减少。骨矿物质随年龄变化不大。全身水和细胞固体从20 - 29岁年龄组到30 - 39岁年龄组显著增加，随后在两个群体中均减少。仅在巴尼亚族女性中，从40 - 49岁年龄组到50 - 59岁年龄组，这两个组成部分的减少具有统计学意义。在比较这两个群体时，发现贾特 - 锡克族女性的骨矿物质显著更多，除了最后两个年龄组外，巴尼亚族女性的脂肪显著更多。另外两个组成部分，即全身水和细胞固体，在两个群体中显示出统计学上不显著的差异。
