چکیده
BACKGROUND To date, no studies have attempted to estimate body shape biological age using clinical parameters associated with body composition for the purposes of examining a person's body shape based on their age. OBJECTIVE We examined the relations between clinical parameters associated with body composition and chronological age, and proposed a model for estimating the body shape biological age. METHODS The study was conducted in 243,778 subjects aged between 20 and 90 years who received a general medical checkup at health promotion centers at university and community hospitals in Korea from 2004 to 2011. RESULTS In men, the clinical parameters with the highest correlation to age included the waist- to-hip ratio (r = 0.786, P < 0.001), hip circumference (r = -0.448, P < 0.001), and height (r = -0.377, P < 0.001). In women, the clinical parameters with the highest correlation to age include the waist-to-hip ratio (r = 0.859, P < 0.001), waist circumference (r = 0.580, P < 0.001), and hip circumference (r = 0.520, P < 0.001). To estimate the optimal body shape biological age based on clinical parameters associated with body composition, we performed a multiple regression analysis. In a model estimating the body shape biological age, the coefficient of determination (R(2)) was 0.71 in men and 0.76 in women. CONCLUSION Our model for estimating body shape biological age might be a novel approach to variation in body shape that is due to aging. We assume that our estimation model would be used as an adjunctive measure in easily predicting differences in body shape with the use of clinical parameters that are commonly used to assess the status of obesity in a clinical setting.

For estimating genetic parameters for body weight traits in Kourdi sheep data were collected from 1996 to 2013 in Kourdi Breeding Station in Northern Khorasan province of Iran. Studied traits were birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), six-month weight (6MW), nine-month weight (9MW) and yearling weight (YW). The fixed effects in the model were lambing year, sex, type of birth and age of dam. (...
