 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 18 On puberty in obese children and normal weight children changes in body composition Study: Body Composition Composition Measurement Ma Feng Ning Zhang Shiwei [Abstract] Objective To compare the pubertal normal weight and obese children and adolescents with body composition, non-fat index (fat-free mass index, FFMI) and fat index (fat mass index, FMI) and the age and sex trends different. Methods 7 to 15 normal weight and obese children aged 356, and each group of sex, age about 10, determined by DEXA body composition, according to the formula FFMI (kg · m-2) = non-adipose tissue (FFM) (kg) / height (m) 2, FMI (kg · m-2) = fat (FM) (kg) / height (m) 2 calculated FFMI and FMI. the results of each age group male and female body composition in obese children adipose tissue and fat tissue to the measured values #8203;#8203;are higher than those of normal weight children (P lt;0.05). Obese children aged 7 to 15, FFMI and FMI were increased with age, and higher than the same sex, same age group of children of normal weight, the difference was statistically significant (P lt;0.05). Conclusion adipose tissue in obese children to fat content , FFMI, FMI, and weight differences in normal children, significant differences between men and women; FFMI and FMI is a weight management in obese children should be applied in the monitoring indicators.

Methods 356 boys and girls aged 7 ~ 15 years were included in this study and for each age and sexual group, both normal-weight and obese children were about 10 who received a measurement of body composition with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). FFMI and FMI were calcul
