DESCRIPTIVE STUDY OF ANTHROPOMETRICAL INDICATORS FOR A 942 LOT OF PERSONS FROM RURAL AND URBAN ENVIRONMENT IN BACAU COUNTY
Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to compare anthropometrical indicators measured in a
populational group of 942 persons from Bacau county with standards on Moldova. The study analyze high
and weigh parameters for children under 18 years old and Body Mass Index for adults. The average BMI
in groups on ages shows a normal weigh for the group of age 18-30 and a tendecy of overweigh for all
other groups of ages. In an analysis on sex groups we can notice the same normal average of BMI at the
age group of 18-30 and a overweigh in the rest of the groups on ages, especially in women groups. The
diferences for the parameters high and weigh in the groups under 18 compared with the standards fits into
-1σ for weigh and -1σ for high (group of girls 11 years old from rural and group of boys 17 years old from
urban) and +1σ for the group of boys 17 years old from rural. Either for group of girls 11 years old from
rural or for the group of boys 17 years old from urban, both the weigh and the high are in the same class of
standard deviation, meaning an harmonic decrease of these too parameters.
