Abstract
Objective: To determine the composition of body weight differences in men and women with the same height. Design: A study of a random population sample of Danish subjects, aged 35–65 y. Subjects: An age and sex stratified random sample of 3608 subjects of which 2987 (83%) subjects appeared for study. Of these, 548 men and 498 women were randomly selected for this present work based on their heights. Results: The mean values of the slope of body fat against body fat free mass were 2.88 (s.e.m.=0.09) in women and 1.84 (s.e.m.=0.07) in men. There were no significant differences between the different body height classes. Conclusions: See results. Sponsorship: The study was supported by the Danish Health Insurance Foundation and the University of Odense, Denmark.Keywords
