Factors Affecting Body Shapes And Body Weight Of Female Undergraduates Of Michael Okpara University Of Agriculture In Abia State
ABSTRACT
Body shape can he defined mainly by skeletal structure,
muscles and fats, or can he determined by the nature or body fat distribution
(Tovee, et al, 1999). Weight can be defined as how heavy somebody is which can be
measured in, for examples kilograms or pounds (Revolution- health, 2008). the
development of the shape categories required a stringent evaluation of all the
variables that could potentially impact a person's shape and thus impact the basic
body shapes, which is very vital. Some of these body shapes normally occur only
in females although some endocrine conditions or use of female hormones such as
by transsexual can produce them in male bodies, as with most physical traits,
there is a wide range of normal body shapes (Trovee, et al,1999). Earlier
stated, skeletal structure frames overall shape of the body (Tovee et al, 1
999). This remains almost the same in the female undergraduates and does not
alter much during their life time. Widening of hip bones occur as part of the
female undergraduate pubertal process, estrogen (Predominant sex hormone in
female undergraduates), causes widening of pelvis as Part of sexual
differentiation (Tamburrion, 1992).
