Measurements of anthropometry and total body water (TBW) were made in 99 women 19-44 y of age living in socioeconomically deprived circumstances in Cali, Colombia. TBW was measured by dilution of deuterium oxide. An empirical equation for estimating lean body mass (LBM) was derived and applied satisfactorily to an independent study group. Comparisons were also made with body-composition values obtained by the Durnin and Womersley equations and an equation derived from rural women living in Guatemala. Neither set of equations was suitable for use with the Colombian subjects because both significantly overestimated LBM and therefore underestimated body fat. Lower values of standing height in older women suggest that they may have been subjected to more severe undernutrition during their growth than the younger subjects. When compared with a group of US women, Colombian subjects were less physically fit and had greater subcutaneous-fat deposits, which were distributed over the trunk and limbs, whereas body mass indexes and waist-hip ratios were not significantly different.
对居住在哥伦比亚卡利社会经济贫困环境中的99名19至44岁女性进行了人体测量和总体水（TBW）测量。通过氧化氘稀释法测量TBW。推导了一个估算瘦体重（LBM）的经验方程，并将其令人满意地应用于一个独立的研究组。还与通过杜宁和沃姆斯利方程以及从危地马拉农村妇女得出的方程获得的身体成分值进行了比较。这两组方程都不适用于哥伦比亚受试者，因为它们都显著高估了LBM，因此低估了体脂。老年女性身高较低表明，与年轻受试者相比，她们在成长过程中可能遭受了更严重的营养不良。与一组美国女性相比，哥伦比亚受试者身体状况较差，皮下脂肪沉积更多，分布在躯干和四肢，而体重指数和腰臀比没有显著差异。
