Relation of adiposity rebound to developmental profile of body composition markers
Varhoľáková, Marianna ; Sedlak, Petr (advisor) ; Zamrazilová, Hana (referee)
The goal of this diploma thesis is to find out which from the components of body composition clarify adiposity rebound of Body Mass Index (AR BMI). The results were obtained by the visual comparison of the curve profile with the curve profile of the research parameters - percentage of muscle, skeleton and fat component of body composition, Fat Mass Index (FMI) and Fat Free Mass Index (FFMI) with regards to mass categorization (10th, 50th and 90th percentile). The age of reaching AR BMI was compared with the age of reaching minimums of the remaining parameters based on arbitrary threshold of significance established by us +- half a year. From the database obtained by transveral collection within the Czech Republic in 80s and 90s in the 20th century, 5 977 children were chosen between the age 3,00 - 12,99 (3 031 girls and 2 946 boys). The average date of examination was 25th June 1987. Curves of the parameters evaluating lean body mass did not show consisten trend with BMI curve profile. The minimum of FFMI has been reached with both genders on every percentile in younger age than the AR BMI age and the minimum of muscle and skeleton component has not been reached with both genders. Curve profile of parameters evaluating the fat component of body composition visually matches the BMI curve profile on...
