Table 2.
Descriptive variables for obesity classification by body fat percentage in both the young (upper section) and old (lower section) age classifications.
| Ordinary adipose (n = 32) | High adipose (n = 17) | Obesity effect | Aging effect | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| n | ||||
| Young | 32 | 17 | ||
| Old | 19 | 26 | ||
| BMI | ||||
| Young | 21.9 ± 3.9 | 34.5 ± 5.0 | P < 0.001 | |
| Old | 22.6 ± 3.5 | 29.6 ± 5.3 | P < 0.001 | P = 0.463 |
| %Body fat | ||||
| Young | 29.9 ± 5.1 | 45.9 ± 3.5 | P < 0.001 | |
| Old | 33.6 ± 4.7 | 44.8 ± 3.7 | P < 0.001 | P = 0.006 |
| Aging slope intrinsic strength (Nm/V.year−1) | −0.278 (P < 0.01) | −0.018 (P = n.s.) | ||
| Aging slope‐specific force (N/cm2.year−1) | −0.033 (P = n.s.) | 0.173 (P = n.s.) | ||
Data are presented as mean ± SD. Rate of aging per adiposity classification is also shown (data are presented as regression slope and P value for the degree of association).
