RESUMO
Objective:To study the eftect of plateau environment on the body compositions of soldiers.Methods:A total of 120 male soldiers were selected for the study.All of the study subjects received a physical examination between June and November in 2014.Bio-electrical impedance technique was used to measure the subjects' body composition including 33 parameters such as body mass index (BMI) and body fat mass.Results:Compared to that before entering into the plateau,the levels of 31 parameters were significantly lower after entering into plateau,except the distribution of muscles in left lower limb and ECW/TBW in right upper extremity.Conclusion:The body compositions of soldiers may decrease under plateau environment.This phenomenon need to be interfered purposefully to aTange scientific diets and training intensity.
