TY - JOUR ID - 877435 AU - Juříková, Jana - Šimůnek, Jan - Budíková, Marcela PY - 2008 TI - A contribution to the research of obesity incidence among children of younger school age PB - Masarykova univerzita CY - Brno SN - 9788021049307 KW - body weight KW - high KW - BMI (body mass index) KW - skinfold thickness KW - skinfold over biceps brachii KW - subscapular skinfold KW - supraspinal skinfold KW - volume of fatty tissue N2 - The article gives information on the measurement of selected anthropometric parameters of 11-year-old children attending primary schools in Brno. Body weight and height were measured and the acquired data was used to calculate the BMI (body mass index). Further, the volume of body fat was calculated as a sum of thicknesses of three skinfolds (the skinfold above biceps brachii, the subscapular and the supraspinal skinfolds). The results show that most children fall within the category that corresponds to the norm, both when the BMI method or the method of fatty tissue volume are used. The method of fatty tissue volume calculated from the thickness of the three skinfolds seemed to be more suitable for eleven-year-old children. ER -
