Abstract
Aging is associated with a change in body composition, which is an increase in the proportion of fat mass, usually against with decrease in muscle mass. In addition, obesity is often associated with metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), and cardiovascular diseases. Visceral obesity is more dangerous than excessive accumulation of subcutaneous fat. An accurate assessment of body composition can provide useful information about the health and functions of the body. However, it can be difficult to determine the exact content of musculoskeletal and adipose tissue in the body of geriatric patients. Anthropometric methods are easy to use and do not require complex and expensive equipment, but they are uninformative and have low accuracy. The issue of timely diagnosis of the compositional composition of the body in older age groups is relevant for predicting the risk of developing chronic non-communicable diseases, disability.
