“…There are several reports on the body composition of Japanese adults, but the samples are largely young adults (Nagamine and Suzuki, 1964;Sato, 1975;Ogawa et al, 1979aOgawa et al, ,b, 1987Ogawa, 1984). Kitagawa et al (1993) and Tahara et al (1994Tahara et al ( , 1995a reported data on the densitometry of middle-aged Japanese, but the reports were published in Japanese and did not analyze the age-related pattern of body composition. The present study reports data on the body composition of a cross-sectional sample of 840 Japanese adults 18±59 years, identifies the age-related patterns for each sex, and analyzes the relationships among variables of body size and composition.…”

Age-related patterns of body size and composition were studied in a cross-sectional sample of Japanese adults 18-59 years of age. Height, weight, the body mass index (BMI), body density (BD), percentage body fat (%Fat), fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM), and the sum of seven skinfold thicknesses (SF) of 288 men and 552 women were considered. Body density was measured by underwater weighing densitometry. Mean values of height, weight, BMI, BD, %Fat, FM, FFM, and SF of males were 169.0 cm, 65.3 kg, 22.8 kg/m(2), 1.0600 g/ml, 17.0%, 11.4 kg, 53.9 kg, and 95.0 mm, respectively, while corresponding values for females were 157.4 cm, 52.9 kg, 21.4 kg/m(2), 1.0420 g/ml, 24.4%, 13.1 kg, 39.7 kg, and 128.2 mm, respectively. Height, BD, and FFM correlated negatively with age in both sexes, while weight, BMI, %Fat, FM, and SF correlated positively with age. The highest BD and the lowest %Fat were observed in males ages 20 to <25 years (G20) and in females 25 to <30 years (G25). The lowest BD and highest %Fat were observed in G50 in both sexes. Correlations among parameters of body size and composition were stable with age in each sex. Height correlated negatively with BMI and %Fat in females, but not in males. In males, FM started to increase between G20 and G25 and continued to increase until G50, while SF and BMI remained stable during this period. In females, FM accumulation started around 30 years of age and continued until G50 and was accompanied by increases in SF and BMI.
