Physical development of women in Magadan Region in age and ethnic aspects

Abstract
Anthropometry is known to be a qualitative measure that reflects the level of health state of a population. For the first time, an assessment study on physical development of women in age and ethnic aspects was conducted in the territory of Magadan Region. This research aimed at studying age dynamics in basic anthropometric indicators among women of different ethnicity from different regions of residence, at mature and old ages.
Materials and methods. In the year of 2022 we analyzed data of medical records of one thousand and sixty-four women from Severo-Evensk District and the city of Magadan. The following anthropometric indicators were included in the general database: Body Length, Body Mass, and Waist Circumference, with further calculating the Body Mass Index. The subjective sample was divided into six groups according to the ethnicity, as well as based on the age. The main indicators of physical development were evaluated by standard research methods.
Results. From the obtained data we could see a reduction in subjective Body Length variables with those of Body Mass, Body Mass Index, and Waist Circumference growing with increasing age, from the middle age (maturity) to the elderly period of ontogenesis. In the settlement of Evensk, the percentage of middle-aged women diagnosed with obesity was 40% among Aboriginals and 24% among Caucasians growing up to 68% and 47%, respectively, in old women. The obesity incidence among women of Magadan made up 25% and 45%, respectively.
Conclusion. The observed characteristics indicate unhealthy tendencies, which the increased Body Mass Index suggests owing to shorter Body Length and significantly bigger Body Mass indices progressing from mature to old ages. To a greater extent, obesity is experienced by women of the Aboriginal population of Magadan Region. All the examinees show Waist Circumference measurements that excess the normal standards, which indicate the development of such an unfavorable factor as abdominal obesity.
The age- and ethnicity-based somatometric status was also specified for Magadan Region women, which should be considered when forming the region-related standards of physical development.
