ABSTRACT: Weight changes were captured in pairs of pictures of 33 women
(aged 18-25 yrs). The study recruited 42 male and 58 female college students
to select the picture from each pair that reflected weight loss. Results
suggest that slight changes in women's weight may not have a significant
perceptual effect, especially for men.

ABSTRACT: The study measured the influence of age and weight on the body-related
attitudes of a community sample of 1,225 South Australian females, aged
13-65 years. Attitudes were found not to vary substantially with age. Only
the Feeling Fat, Body Disparagement, and Lower Body Fatness sub-scales of
the BAQ correlated with the Body Mass Index (BMI), while the effect of BMI
on attitudes was independent of age. Body attitudes appear to be substantially
independent of the current physical body.

in young adults were examined in 5,115 black and white, men and women ages
18-30 years. Associations of measures of body size with age and education
differed among race/sex groups. Body mass index and skinfolds increased
with age among white and black men and black women, but not among white
women. The association of education with obesity was negative among white
women and positive among black men with no significant association noted
among white men and black women.

ABSTRACT: The study was designed to characterize a sample of young mentally
retarded males as to body composition and somatotype. Efforts focused on
determination of the effectiveness of selected anthropometric approaches
to the determination of body composition from a field measurement research
environment. The study uses 7 procedures which utilize anthropometric measurements
to predict percent body fat were compared for predictive capability, included
five girths, four widths, and eight skinfolds. Subjects were 180 retarded
males in the 6 to 17 year age range. Results indicated that significant
differences were evident in the predictive capabilities of the six prediction
methods at each age level studied. The older subjects had greater body fat
than younger subjects.

equations for predicting body density, body fat percentage, lean body weight,
and body fat weight. Unpublished doctoral dissertation, University of
Oregon, Eugene.
ABSTRACT: The study was designed to: (1) develop regression equations for
predicting body density of a sample of 18-35 year old Caucasian male University,
(2) compare the accuracy of selected population specific and generalized
regression equations in predicting body density and body composition. The
subjects consists of 81 University of Oregon Caucasian male students, age
ranging from 18 to 35 years, volunteered as subjects for the study. The
best combination of anthropometric measurements to predict body density
was obtained by using the sum of four skinfolds (abdomen, chest, midaxillary,
and calf) plus chest skinfold as independent variables. The second best
equation was obtained by using the abdominal and calf skinfolds as independent
variables. This equation has the advantage of simplicity and practicality.
The population specific equations developed by Sloan (1967), and Katch and
MeArdle (1973) were good predictors of the body density of the study sample.
Two of the the generalized regression equations developed by Jackson and
Pollock (1978) using either sum and sum square of seven or three skinfolds
measurements plus age were good predictors of body density of the study
sample. The generalized skinfold skinfold-surface area equation using K(SF)
constant of .46 developed by Katch, Behnke, and Katch (1979) predicted accurately
the body density of the study sample. The study found a little difference
in the accuracy between generalized regression equations and population
specific equations in predicting body density..

ABSTRACT: Anthropometric measurements, including height, weight, triceps
skinfold, arm circumference, and wrist and knee breadths, were obtained
from preschool children and their parents and siblings. It is concluded
that weight over height squared is an appropriate measure of overweight
in adults, whereas in children the use of anthropometric standards is recommended.

ABSTRACT: Meta-analysis techniques were used to study the effects of aerobic
walking and jogging exercises for weight loss. Results, show persons do
not typically lose as much weight as predicted by exercise, and thin persons
show more energy compensation than heavy persons. Comparison of the results
of exercise and other forms of weight control suggests that weight losses
due to exercises are quite small. It was also found that adherence to long-term
programs of exercise, whether for weight loss or heart disease, is problematical.

Unpublished doctoral dissertation, The Florida State University.
ABSTRACT: The effect of boron supplementation on plasma testosterone, lean
body mass and strength was investigated in male weightlifters. Subjects
consisted of 10 male bodybuilders (20-26 years) were given a 2.5 mg boron
supplement, and 9 male bodybuilders (21-27 years) were given a placebo each
day for 7 weeks. Findings show that there was a significant difference in
plasma boron due to group membership. There was no significant effect of
boron supplementation on any of the dependent variables. The study suggests
that 7 weeks of bodybuilding can increase total testosterone, lean body
mass and strength in lesser-trained bodybuilders.

ABSTRACT: The study examined the accuracy of skinfold thickness measurements
in body composition assessment, skinfold thickness, bioelectrical impedance,
body density by underwater weighing, and total body water by deuterium dilution.
A total of 105 healthy adults who varied widely in body fatness were selected.
Body fat calculated both from skinfold equations and bioelectrical impedance
tended to be underestimated compared with body fat calculated from underwater
weighing and total body water in the most obese subjects.

ABSTRACT: Twenty-four anthropometric body composition prediction equations
were cross-validated on an athletic population using standardized methodology,
and body composition determined by hydrostatic weighing as the reference
method. The standardized protocol developed for determining body density
from hydrostatic weighing took into account both biological (e.g. prandical
state, hydration status, and evacuation status) and technical (scale calibration,
water temperature, number and selection of under water weighing trials)
sources of variation. The anthropometric measurements used in the prediction
equations for the cross-validation, included ten skinfold sites and six
circumferences, all located and measured by standardized procedures.

ABSTRACT: Hydrostatic weighing was conducted to determine how the percentage
body fat of 53 adults would compare to their height-weight status. The subjects,
36 males and 17 females, were enlisted personnel on active duty in the United
States Air Force. All had been deemed "overweight" for height

Findings demonstrate the fallacy in attempting to estimate body composition
on the basis of height-weight measurements alone.

measurements in United States air force personnel. Unpublished master's

ABSTRACT: Hydrostatic weighing was conducted to determine how the percentage
body fat of 53 adults would compare to their height-weight status. The subjects,
36 males and 17 females, were enlisted personnel on active duty in the United
States Air Force. All had been deemed "overweight" for height
by Air Force standards and were assigned to a weight-reduction program.
Findings demonstrate the fallacy in attempting to estimate body composition
on the basis of height-weight measurements alone.

mass and musculoskeletal injury in middle aged and older men. Unpublished
doctoral dissertation, University of Maryland College Park.
ABSTRACT: An investigation of the effects of strength training on strength,
muscle cross sectional area and injury in middle aged and older men were
administered among 22 sedentary male subjects between the ages of 50 and
69 years volunteered to either a training (N=15) or control (N=7) group.
These results indicate that older men can safely participate in a strength
training program intense enough to promote a substantial increase in strength
and muscle hypertrophy. A strength training program will allow older men
to exercise at the same absolute or same relative workload after training
with a reduced risk of disrupting musculoskeletal tissue.

female runners aged 18-43 with respect to body composition and incidence
of menstrual dysfunction. Unpublished doctoral dissertation, University
of Minnesota, Minneapolis.
ABSTRACT: Hydrostatic body fat tests and training and menstrual history
questionnaires were administered to 101 female runners. They were divided
into a low-training-mileage (LM) group and a high-training-mileage (HM)
group. No difference in incidence of amenorrhea were found between groups
or when the subjects were regrouped according to body density. When regrouped
according to menstrual history, runners who exhibited menstrual irregularity
before training had a higher incidence of amenorrhea than runners who exhibited
regular menstrual cycles before training.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of the study was to assess the influence of body build
on the bias and limits of agreement for estimates of body fat obtained from
anthropometric prediction equations when compared with the same data obtained
by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Ninety-one premenopausal women,
aged between 20 and 54 years, were chosen to represent a range of skeletal
body build and body fatness. A DEXA measurement of total body fat, fat free
soft tissue and total body bone mineral mass was obtained within 2 weeks
of the anthrometric assessment. Results suggest that the comparability and
precision of body fat estimates derived from age- and/or sex-specific anthropometric
prediction equations based on skinfolds and BMI, but not impedance, can
be improved by adjusting for differences in BMI and umbilical circumference
respectively.

Simopoulus, A. P. (1986). Obesity and body weight standards. Annual
Review of Public Health, 7, 481-492.
ABSTRACT: A review highlights various standards (weight/height ratio, skinfold
thickness, frame size) used for measures of body fat and obesity, and discusses
data derived from the national HES and HANES surveys, clinical studies,
the Metropolitan Life weight-for-height tables, and recommendations of a
1982 NIH-CDC workshop for body weight standards that reflect morbidity and
mortality. It is concluded that until further studies define the range of
body weight for least morbidity and longest survival, the recommended weight
ranges provided by the 1959 Metropolitan Life table appears to be an appropriate
reference standard.

ABSTRACT: Black females, recruited from University of Alabama Hospitals
and whose fractures were the result of motor vehicle accidents or were secondary
to radiation therapy, were measured for their weight and height. These measurements
were compared to data for black women age 50-74 who participated in the
First Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HANES I). Results indicate
that Black females with fractured cases weighed 36.6 pounds less than Black
women who participated in HANES I.
