We have suggested previously the formulae for the bioimpedance assessment of the first and second components of the Heath-Carter somatotype in Russian children and adolescents from Moscow, Arkhangelsk and Arkhangelsk region. It remained unclear, however, whether they are applicable to Russian children and adolescents from other geographical locations, to other ethnic and age groups, as well as to some professional groups, e.g., athletes. Our aim was to check the accuracy of the formulae in various populations. The control group included Russian children and adolescents from the above-mentioned study (n=2364). The comparison group 1 consisted of four mono-ethnic samples of schoolchildren: Russians (Moscow, Elista, n=1035), Adygeys (Republic of Adygea, n=68), Kalmyks (Elista, n=843), and Tatars (Naberezhnye Chelny, n=51). The comparison group 2 consisted of two samples of university students: Adyghe State University (Maikop, Adygeys, n=35) and Kalmyk State University (Elista, Kalmyks, n=98). The comparison group 3 was represented by students of sports high schools: Russian State University of Physical Culture, Sport, Youth and Tourism (Moscow, Russians, n=299), and Volga Region State Academy of Physical Culture, Sport and Tourism (Naberezhnye Chelny, Tatars, n=46). The accuracy of the endo- and mesomorphy estimates in group 1 was similar to that in the controls with the exception of elevated SEE for the endomorphy in the Adygeys (SEE=0.80) and the Kalmyks (SEE=0.87). For the Kalmyks, the formulae have been refined. In group 2, the SEE for the endo- and mesomorphy in the Adygeys were higher, and in the Kalmyks similar to that in group 1 at a relatively high R2. In group 3, the SEE for the mesomorphy in Russians and for the endomorphy in Tatars was twice as high as in the controls at lower R2. In groups 1 and 2, the accuracy of the mesomorphy estimates was higher than that of the endomorphy. Our results suggest that the formulae: – are useful for Russian children and adolescents 6-18 years of age regardless of the region of Russia and are conditionally useful for other ethnic groups of the age; – are less accurate (may require correction) for young adults; – are inaccurate in mixed groups of sports high school students (members of different sports). Of interest for population screening is the development of bioimpedance formulae for the Heath-Carter somatotype assessment in adults of Russian and other ethnicities, as well as in various diseases.
