Objective:
To analyze the differences of cardiovascular(CV) risk factors between middle school students with normal weight but high body fat and students with normal weight and normal body fat in urban area of Yinchuan,to provide a theoretical basis for early detection of their invisible obesity and controlling CV metabolism disease.
Methods:
During 2017 to 2018, a total of 1 043 secondary school students in urban area of Yinchuan were selected through cluster sampling. Questionnaire survey, physical examination, body composition and blood lipid test were conducted among all the participants.745 middle school students with normal body mass index (BMI) were included in the analysis.
Results:
Nearly 31.1% students with normal BMI had high body fat, with girls significantly higher than that in boys across different age groups(χ2=10.37,106.49,P<0.01). Total cholesterol (TC) in boys with normal-weight obesity was higher than that in the normal group, while diastolic blood pressure (DBP), triglyceride (TG), TC and lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in girls with normal-weight obesity were significantly higher than that in the normal group, with statistically significant differences (t=-2.37,-3.82,-3.48,-4.46,-4.68,P<0.01). The detection rates of high blood pressure, high TC level and high LDL-C level in normalweight obese girls were all higher than those in normal group (χ2=4.17,8.77,5.91,P<0.05). The detection rate of CV risk factors ≥2 in normal-weight obesity group was higher than that in the normal group, and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=7.05,P<0.01).
Conclusion
Normal-weight obesity among middle school students in urban area of Yinchuan is prevalent, which is mainly concentrated in female students. Moreover, cardiovascular risk factors are more common among those normal-weight obese students compared with normal students. Interventions for preventing and controlling normal-weight obesity should be developed and implemented as early as possible.

Objective:
To elucidate age and sex specific characteristics in fat free mass (FFM) among middle and high school adolescents in Yinchuan City, China, and to provide a scientific basis for healthy development, chronic disease prevention and intervention in children and adolescents.
Methods:
Using a convenient cluster sampling method, 1 175 middle and high school adolescents, aged 10 to 20 years old, from Yinchuan, China, were selected to participate in a questionnaire survey and physical examination, which involved body composition by bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA).
Results:
For adolescents aged 12 to 18 years, FFM and the fat free mass percentage (FFMP) of boys increased with age(from 39.78 to 52.63 kg; 77.51% to 83.80%, respectively), the age trends of the FFM and FFMP of body parts were in the similar pattern, and were significantly higher than those of girls(all P <0.05). In girls, the FFM reached a peak of 40.96 kg at 15 years old, and decreased slightly between the ages of 15 and 18 years, the age trends of the FFM of body parts were in the similar pattern, and the FFMP decreased with age (from 75.63% to 71.91 %). In addition, in girls, the age trends of the FFMP of left and right legs were the same as the general trend, while the FFMP of left and right arms increased with age. The FFMP of the trunk reached a minimum of 29.93% at 15 years old and increased from 15 to 18 years old(all P <0.05).
Conclusion
For middle and high school adolescents aged 12 to 18 years old in Yinchuan City, China, the distribution of FFM changed in accordance with age and gender differences, in accordance with the characteristics of the adolescents growth and development.
