Abstract
Statistical data indicate a high level of morbidity in the main classes of diseases and mortality among the male population of older age groups, which requires a comprehensive study. The purpose of this study was to determine the biophysical parameters of the body in mature Yakut men. A total of 41 men of the first and second periods of adulthood, workers and employees of various enterprises of Yakutsk were examined. An anthropometric and bioimpedancmetric examination was carried out. The overall dimensions of the body (length and body weight), waist circumference and hip circumference were measured, BMI and the ratio of waist circumference to hip circumference were calculated. Bioimpedance measurement was carried out using the analyzer of body composition and balance of water sectors of the body ABC – 01 “Medass”. Statistical analysis of the data obtained was carried out using the SPSS 17.0 software package. An anthropometric survey revealed that according to the BMI, most men are overweight and obese, according to the ratio of waist circumference to hip circumference a larger proportion of the surveyed men have visceral obesity. Bioelectric indicators and parameters of the component composition of the body were established. In men of mature age, higher relative indicators of fat mass, extracellular fluid and reduced values of musculoskeletal mass were revealed in comparison with similar parameters of Yakut young males.
