METHOD OF ESTIMATING ANTHROPOMETRIC PARAMETERS IN MEN Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A61B5/107 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: number of anthropogenic parameters are measured and converted into estimating points by two formulas with application of table of minimal (M-2σ) and maximal (M+2σ) values of parameters in population. Calculation of each parameter in points is performed by formula: parameter value in points = 9(P value - P min value):(P max. value - P min.value), where P value is measured value of anthropometric parameter in particular patient, P min value is parameter minimal value, obtained for population, P max.value is parameter maximal value in population; after that calculation of value of girth parameters without taking into account skin and fat folds is performed by formula: value of girth parameter without SFF = P value - π×SFF, where P value is measured value of girth parameter, π is pi number = 3.14, SFF is thickness of respective skin and fat fold. If value of each parameter is lower than 0 points, superweak development of parameter is determined, if value equals from 0 to 2.9 points - weak, from 3 to 5.9 points - middle, from 6 to 8.9 points - strong, over 9 points - superstrong development of parameter.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to increase accuracy and objectivity of body built estimation, degree of body fat and muscle component development during anthropometry in men.
