title: [Methods of evaluating nutritional status in preventive screening of the population].
abstract: After selecting anthropometric parameters for preventive examinations of the population and elaborating a computer program, the authors analyzed a series of 1000 probands with respect to their nutritional state. The occurrence rate of latent and clinically manifest obesity was in the given series 22.70% in men and 15.49% in women when the classification according to the total fat percentage was applied. Measurements of circumference showed higher abdominal than thoracic circumference to occur in men only in clinically manifest obesity, whereas in women predominance of abdominal circumference was recorded in both types of obesity. On applying criteria of relative body weight, the occurrence rate of obesity amounted in men to 24.72% and in women to 28.83%. (Tab.6,Ref.19).
