The relationship between the component composition of the body and the rate of aging of student youth

Abstract

Were examined 120 young men and young women. The analysis of the component composition was carried out using bioimpedance analysis by the MEDASS device. The coefficient of the aging rate was calculated according to the formula of A.G. Gorelkina. A correlation was established between the components of body composition and the rate of aging. The probability of accelerated aging of the body increases in the presence of excess fat mass. 25% of young men and 18.3% of young women belong to the risk group with an increased content of adipose tissue and a reduced content of skeletal muscles. Key words: aging, biological age, body component composition, students.
