摘要：

We examined age- and sex-specific body compositions of Chinese children by the bioelectrical impedance method. The subjects were a total of 587 children aged 6 - 14 y who had normal relative weight. In all ages, boys had larger fat-free mass and lower percent body fat (% BF) than girls did. Even in the subjects with BMI <20 kg/m(2), more than one quarter of them had high % BF. Conclusion: Chinese children may have higher % BF than that predicted by BMI.
