Abstract

Objective  To explore the influence of regional differences on the body composition of the Miao nationality.     Methods  The bioelectrical impedance method  was used to measure 17 body composition indexes of 357 adults of Miao Nationality in Guizhou (162 males and 195 females) and 471 adults of Miao Nationality in Western Hu’nan (210 males and 261 females). The correlation analysis between body composition and age,  One Way ANOVA and principal component analysis were carried out.  Results  The visceral fat grade and trunk fat percentage of Miao men in Guizhou and Miao in Western Hu'nan were positively correlated with age, and total muscle mass and trunk muscle mass were negatively correlated with age. The visceral fat grade and trunk fat rate of Miao women in the two regions were positively correlated with age, and the presumed bone mass and trunk muscle mass were negatively correlated with age. The index values of weight, muscle mass, estimated bone mass, water content, visceral fat grade, limb and trunk muscle mass in Guizhou Miao and Miao men in Western Hu’nan were all larger than women, and the body fat rate, limb and trunk fat mass were all smaller than women. The body fat percentages, limbs and trunk fat percentages of Guizhou Miao men and women were similar to those of Xiangxi Miao, and the muscle mass, limbs and trunk muscle mass were less than that of Xiangxi Miao.   Conclusion  There are  obvious regional differences in muscle mass between the Miao nationality in Guizhou and the Miao nationality in Western Hu’nan.
