The aim is to evaluate the effects of manual gravel extraction on body composition and spirometric values in divers screeners. Our study an experimental exploratory type, concerned 30 workers distributed as follows: 15 variables were carried out before after four months activity. results show that practice gravelling has more significant than scouts anthropometry (weight 54.42 ± 5.48 kg vs 58.6...

Background: For the perception of facial attractiveness, the orbital region in the face acts as a key determinant factor. The Orbitofacial measurements vary with sex and race. Orbital region in the face is one of the most important regions in plastic, reconstructive and ophthalmic surgery and anthropometric evaluation. There are no reports available on the Orbitofacial anthropometry in Indian A...

BACKGROUND Upper arm anthropometry has been used in the nutritional assessment of small infants, but it has not yet been validated as a predictor of regional body composition in this population. OBJECTIVE Validation of measured and derived upper arm anthropometry as a predictor of arm fat and fat-free compartments in preterm infants. METHODS Upper arm anthropometry, including the upper arm ...

We intended to compare the anthropometry of male and female Ironman triathletes with the anthropometry of male and female ultra-swimmers. Body mass, body mass index and body fat were lower in both male and female triathletes compared to swimmers. Body height and length of limbs were no different between the two groups. In the multi-variate analysis, in male triathletes, body mass (p=0.015) and ...

Anthropometry is a simple and cost-efficient method for the assessment of body composition. However prediction equations to estimate body composition using anthropometry should be 'population-specific'. Most popular body composition prediction equations for Japanese females were proposed more than 40 years ago and there is some concern regarding their usefulness in Japanese females living today...
