Title: The Establishment of The Regression Equation of Abdominal and Pelvic Fat
Abstract: Objective:By calculating the abdominal and pelvic diameter to find out the best position to measure the distribution of fat and then to establish a regression equation of trunk fat.Methods:To find 51 subjects as sample to measure their simple anthropometric parameters including height,age,body mass,body mass index(BMI),and so on.Using magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) to photograph the incessant pictures of trunk,and then by using Amira5.4.3 software to get the data of subcutaneous fat(SF),visceral fat(VF),width and length of the cross section.Thus the total data of SF,VF,min waist circumference and min area in abdomen is obtained.Using SPSS17.0 to conduct multiple regression analysis and establish the fat regression models.Results:The best position to measure men's VF is 2 cm above L4-L5,and for women is 7 cm~8cm above L4-L5.Men's subcutaneous fat is best reflected by the factor of the width of the cross section 1 cm below L4-L5,and women's subcutaneous fat is best reflected by the lateral subcutaneous fat thickness of the cross section 7 cm above L4-L5.Conclusions:At last we got the regression equation of VF and SF for men and women.
