Nutritional status of the population in Dalmatia, Croatia
Weight, stature, weight/stature2 (BMI), and triceps skinfold thickness were analysed in the population of Dalmatia in Croatia. Age- and sex-specific percentiles were obtained from 4.507 subjects, 18 to 74 years of age, and compared to the U.S. NHANES II reference data. Differences in BMI between the two populations were due to higher body weight of the Dalmatians. The triceps skinfold thickness indicated their lower body fatness. High BMI of the Dalmatians is attributable either to their more centralized fat patterning or larger body muscularity. Elucidation of these effects will provide information on the adequacy of NHANES data for the assessment of nutritional status in Dalmatian population.
