Abstract

In 154 girls and 58 young men aged 17-21 years, a new body mass index (BMI 2=M/H 3), body form index (BFI=S/M 2/3), body build index [BBI=(M/H 3) 1/2], and body fatness index (BFI=M/ HC 2) were determined; in which C, H, M, S correspond to the wrist circumference, body height, body mass and body area. It was shown that all the indices mentioned demonstrated highly significant gender differences if calculation of each of them was based, not on the body mass, but on a conventional body volume obtained by division of the factual body mass by the average statistical body density corresponding to 1.064 kg/ dm 3 in men and 1.034 kg/dm 3 in women.

Keywords
