Ontogenetically disharmonic fat component of human body mass in various age and gender groups:estimation methods and rate.

Abstract

On the basis of direct anthropometry the regularities of formation of human body fat at the stages of postnatal ontogenesis have been revealed, which become apparent by different rate of body mass disharmony due to its fat component, especially in comparative aspect of gender groups’ ontogenesis. The findings of generalized development of aggregated anthropometric data define the areas of development of traditional methodology of anthropometry, valid advanced methodology, in particular; provides with estimation of ontogenetically disharmonic body build due to body mass fat component. The assessment of ontogenetic disharmony of body mass fat component is assigned to anatomy, topographic anatomy, and other clinical disciplines and can be applied to consideration of peculiarities of body build while assessing the body composition. The findings can explain the age differences as for the rate of initiation of functional disorders, prenosological, as well as nosologically defined pathological conditions as manifestation of general process of growth and development in postnatal ontogenesis.
