MORPHOMETRIC EVALUATIONT OF RELATIVE ADIPOSE TISSUE CONTENT IN THE HUMAN BODY
Analysis of the mathematical models of the human body composition revealed main shortcomings of body mass index (A. Quetelet, 1832). This allowed to offer more accurate body mass index (BMI=M/H 3), body build index [BBI=(BMI) 1/2] and body fatness index (BFI=M/НС 2), where (M), (H) and (С) signified the mass, height and wrist circumference correspondingly.
