Age-related changes in body composition in a sample of Czech women aged 18-89 years: a cross-sectional study

Original language description

The Czech Republic lacks body composition data for women. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to analyze body composition (body fat mass [BFM], fat-free mass [FFM], body fat percentage [%BFM] and visceral adipose tissue [VAT]) and to evaluate the changes that occur with aging in women aged 18-89 years. We also analyzed anthropometric characteristics of study participants and developed age-specific percentile curves for body composition parameters. A cross-sectional, non?randomized study was conducted with a sample of 1,970 apparently healthy Czech women. Body composition was measured using a direct segmental multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BSM-BIA). The mean BFM was 19.7 ? 8.9 kg, and BFM reached its peak in women over 70, at 27.6? 8.8 kg. There was a strong correlation between BFM and age (r = 0.61; r2 = 0.37). Fifty percent of the women in the study had a BFM between 13.0 kg and 25.0 kg. The %BFM (r = 0.69; r2 = 0.47) and VAT (r = 0.88; r2 = 0.77) were also sig
