| National Physique Monitoring is an important measure which matters a lot to thecountry and people’s livelihood. The government attaches great importance to it andhas invested a lot of manpower and material and financial resources to it,too.However, China’s National Physique Monitoring starts a little late, and many studiesare still in the initial stage, especially for the elderly physical longitudinal researches.In this paper, the author employs literature method, comparative analysis method, thetest method, mathematical statistics method and so on to do this research on theelderly physique monitoring data of the2010and2005Jiangxi Province NationalPhysique Monitoring report.This essay analyzes the elderly physique condition ofJiangxi Province in2010, researches on the elderly physique comparative analysis in2010and2005and the elderly in Jiangxi Province and over the nation comparativeanalyses. Based on the above, the essay compares and analyzes and researches on thebody shape, body functions and qualities of the elderly between60and69years old,and expects to gain a general understanding of the physique condition of JiangxiProvince, hence provides reasonable advice and references for making scientific andrational exercise prescription and fitness program and offers theoretical basis and datasupport to making relative policy and system.The research result of this essay is asfollows:First, the analysis conclusions of the present stage of the elderly physiquecondition of Jiangxi Province in2010Body Shape: the height,weight and bust of the elderly in Jiangxi Province in2010all decrease as their age increases, especially for the female.And this situationdiffers from gender, the measured value of the male is always higher than the female.The waist of the male reduces as the age increases and the waist of the femaleincrease as the age increases. The hip of the male reduces as the age increases (P>0.05)and the hip of the female increases as the age increases. The indicator of the skin foldof the upper arm and shoulder sebum of the male elderly of Jiangxi Province in2010increases as the age increases and the indicator of the skin fold of the upper arm of thefemale elderly increases as the age increases but the shoulder sebum and abdominalskin fold reduces as the age increases. The result of the BMI statistics of JiangxiProvince in2010shows that the overweight and obesity rate in all ages are generally high.the relative analysis of the elderly body shape shows: the bust and hips arehighly correlated; the body weight and measurements are strongly related; the bustand hips; skin fold of the upper arm, shoulder sedum and sebum abdomen; the weightand height are moderately correlated; the height and upper arm skin fold,scapularsebum and abdominal sebum re negatively correlated.Body functions: the resting heart rate and systolic blood pressure of the elderly ofJiangxi Province in2010increase with the age grows.the diastolic pressure of themale of Jiangxi Province in2010decreases as the age grows (P>0.05); diastolicpressure of the female basically remains the same with the age grows (P>0.05). Thevital capacity the male decreases as the age grows (P<0.001),although the vitalcapacity of the male elderly are obviously higher than that of the female elderly of thesame age. However, the heart and lung function of the elderly diminish with the agegrows.analysis of Jiangxi Province Physical Function in2010indicates:systolic anddiastolic blood pressure are strongly correlated; resting heart rate and systolic bloodpressure, diastolic blood pressure are weakly correlated; diastolic blood pressure andlung capacity; resting heart rate and lung capacity; systolic blood pressure and lungcapacity are negatively correlated.Physical fitness: When the elderly men of Jiangxi Province in2010are doing theexercise of Sit flexion, reaction time and other indicators showed an upward trend, butthe magnitude is not large, and this indicates that the flexibility of female elderly arebetter than elderly men. It takes the male elderly less time to do the exercise ofgripping and eyes-closed standing on one foot.(P <0.01). It shows that with increasingage and the aging of the body, the elderly muscle strength gradually decreased andtheir body balance and postural sensory abilities are obviously weakened.(P<0.001)The elderly nerve impulse conduction velocity and reaction time slows down.relativeanalysis of indicators of physical body qualities of the elderly in Jiangxi Provincein2010shows:Sit and Reach and grip strength, reaction time was negatively correlated;grip strength and reaction time was negatively correlated; diastolic blood pressure andlung capacity was weakly correlated; eyes on one foot standing and grip strength,reaction time are weakly correlated.Second, comparative analysis conclusions of the elderly physical condition OfJiangxi Province in2010and2005.The height of the elderly people aged60-69does not change much over the fiveyears, and the weight and the bust and the waist circumference all increase. Itindicates that the index of the elderly physique condition increases which leads to obesity The overweight rate in2010of the male elderly in Jiangxi Province increasedby1.7percentage than in2005,and obesity rate decreased by4.4percentage (P <0.01);The overweight rate in2010of female increased by3.5percentage than in2005(P<0.01).And the gaining of the weight adds the difficulty in balancing the body.In thepast five years, the heart rate and lung capacity have been declining,which shows theweakening of the heart and lung function of the elderly. In the past five years, theexercises of Sit and Reach of elderly people aged60-69show a downward trend, andthe time of closed-eyes one foot standing became less. Whether in2005or2010, thephysique condition of the elderly people of Jiangxi Province is weakened or thefunction diminished with age grows.Third,the analysis conclusions of the comparative study of the body constitutionbetween the elders in Jiangxi Province in2010and that of the national average in2010Body Shape: Derived from the statistical comparative analysis, the height,weight, bust and hips of the elders both in Jiangxi Province and of the nationalaverage in2010all increases with age; whether of the national average or in JiangxiProvince, the elderly male’s waistline decreases with increasing age, while theelderly female’s waistline increases with increasing age; and besides for the elderlyfemale’s waistline, in2010other body shape indexes of the elders of the nationalaverage were higher than that of the elders in Jiangxi Province; the rate ofoverweight and obesity of the elders of the national average was higher than that ofthe elders in Jiangxi Province in2010.Physical Functions: Derived from the statistical comparative analysis, in the60-64age group, there is little difference between the resting heart rates of the eldersof the national average and that of the elders in Jiangxi Province, and the systolicblood pressure, the diastolic blood pressure and the lung capacity of the elders of thenational average are higher than that of the elders in Jiangxi Province; especiallyamong the elderly female, the lung capacity has significant differences (P<0.05). Inthe65-69age group, the resting heart rate of the elderly male of the national averageis higher than that of the elderly male on the provincial level, while the resting heartrate of the elderly female of the national average is lower than that of the elderlyfemale on the provincial level, with the overall difference not big. The diastolicpressure and the lung capacity of the elderly male of the national average are higherthan that of the elderly male in Jiangxi Province, with insignificant differences(P>0.05); the lung capacity of the elderly female of the national average is higher than that of the elderly female in Jiangxi Province, with significant differences (P<0.01).No matter of the national average or in Jiangxi Province, the resting heart rate and thelung capacity of the elderly male decrease with increasing age, while the resting rateof the elderly female increases with increasing age, the lung capacity decreasing withincreasing age. No matter of the national average or in Jiangxi Province, each physicalfunction index becomes senile or reduces its functionality with increasing age.Physical Fitness: Derived from the statistical comparative analysis, in the60-64age group, the elderly male of the national average doing sit-and-reach, single footstanding with eyes closed and the reaction is worse than the elderly male in JiangxiProvince when they do, and the differences of doing single foot standing with eyesclosed is very significant (P<0.01), the differences of the reaction also significant(P<0.05). It suggests that the flexibility, balance and reactive competence of theelderly male of the national average are better than those of the elderly male ofJiangxi Province. The grip strength values of the elderly male of the national averageis also higher than that of the elderly male in Jiangxi Province, but the differences arenot significant (P>0.05). In the60-64age group, the elderly female of the nationalaverage doing sit-and-reach, grip strength test, and single foot standing with eyesclosed is better than the elderly female in Jiangxi Province when they do, withinsignificant differences (P>0.05) except for grip strength test (P<0.05). The reactionof the elderly female of the national average is higher than that of the elderly femalein Jiangxi Province, with insignificant differences. In the65-69age group, the elderlymale of the national average doing sit-and-reach, grip strength test, single footstanding with eyes closed and the reaction is better than the elderly male in JiangxiProvince when they do, and the differences are not significant (P>0.05) except forsingle foot standing with eyes closed (P<0.01); but the elderly female of the nationalaverage doing sit-and-reach and grip strength test is better than the elderly female inJiangxi Province when they do, while the reaction of the elderly female of the nationalaverage is worse than that of the elderly female in Jiangxi Province, suggesting thatthe flexibility, grip strength and reactive competence of the elderly female of thenational average are better than those of the elderly female in Jiangxi Province,though with insignificant differences (P>0.05); the value of the elderly female of thenational average doing single foot standing with eyes closed is lower than that of theelderly female in Jiangxi Province doing it, suggesting that the balance of the elderlyfemale in Jiangxi Province is better than that of the elderly female of the nationalaverage, with very significant differences (P<0.01). Derived from the statistical results, whether of the national average or in Jiangxi Province, each physical qualityof both elderly male and female become senile or reduce its functionality withincreasing age. |
