Are there any normative anthropometric data for the elderly?

Finally, the Committee noted that few normative anthropometric data exist for the elderly, especially for those > 80 y of age. Proper definitions of health status, function, and biologic age remain to be developed for this group.

How many people participated in the anthropometric survey?

Anthropometry measurements were obtained from 19,593 survey participants. The anthropometric measures included weight, height, recumbent length, circumferences, limb lengths, and skinfold thickness measurements. Results—The tables in this report include weighted population means,

What kind of measurements are included in anthropometric measurements?

The anthropometric measures included weight, height, recumbent length, circumferences, limb lengths, and skinfold thickness measurements. Results—The tables in this report include weighted population means, standard errors of the means, and selected percentiles of body measurement values.

What kind of measurements are used in anthropometry?

Anthropometric measurements such as skinfolds and circumferences and bioelectrical impedance (a method used to estimate the amount of lean tissue) will allow cross-sectional analysis of the relationship between obesity and risk of disease.
