The sites measured for each age group were different and were as follows: (a) Young age group- Upper arm (RUA) - Forearm (RFA) - Abdomen (ABD) (b) Middle age group- Buttock (B) - Abdomen (ABD) - Forearm (RFA) spots Percent spots body fat spots content was calculated directly by using prediction equations add constants presented by McArdle et al[4]. The error in prediction is generally between ? 2.5 to 4.0%[4]. To find out differences between two groups, the data (mean and standard deviations for all the variables) were compared using an unpaired ‘t’ test. The results of both the methods in a particular group was compared using paired ‘t’ test and correlation coefficient was calculated. :: Results As illustrated in [Table - 1], the skin-fold and girth measurements were found to be significantly greater (p The two variables indicate mean and standard deviation in the middle-aged men as compared to young men.
