1. What body composition standards best serve military women's health and fitness, with respect to minimum lean body mass, maximum body fat, and site specificity of fat deposition?

Individuals whose body fat exceeds 36 percent will be referred to a weight management program, regardless of fitness score. BMI< 19 \ \ Fail fitness test I Refer to fitness program and nutrition counselor The BCNH subcommittee also recommends development of a single service-wide equation derived Tom circumference measurements for assessment of women's body fat, to be validated against a four-comparunent model using a population of active-duty women or a population that is identical in ethnic and Tier 1 BMI and fitness measured 1 it.

· The BCNH subcommittee recommends an increasing emphasis on general fitness for health and readiness by enforcing uniformly across all services and MOSs regular and monitored participation in a fitness program consisting of a minimum of 3 d/wk of endurance exercise at 60 to 80 percent of maximum capacity for 20 to 60 minutes and 2 d/wk of resistance exercise using all major muscle groups at 85 percent of one repetition maximum (ACSM, 1990~. Such a program, in addition to promoting fitness, assists in maintenance of weight and FFM and may result in lower body fat.

This education is required to enable women to choose foods of higher nutrient density and to maintain a fitness program that will allow greater energy intake. The subcommittee reinforces the recent efforts of the Army to begin providing complete nutritional labeling of all ration components and to include information to enable identification of nutrient-dense components that would help women meet the MRDAs at their usual energy intake.

· The BCNH subcommittee recommends the endorsement of the IOM guidelines for gestational weight gain as outlined in the text. Women should be encouraged to gain within the IOM recommendations during pregnancy and to lose weight postpartum through appropriate nutritional counseling and exercise programs.

In addition to the wide variety of demographic and personnel data maintained in the Defense Manpower Data Center database, health outcome data are maintained in several medical cost accounting databases. Elective Use of Existing Data A combination of the survey instruments that have been used in the past would be suitable for collecting most of the information needed (including longitudinal data)

From page 215... ...
Additional Data Needed As recommended by an earlier IOM report (1992) , longitudinal studies of people admitted to military weight management or remedial fitness programs should be conducted to determine the outcome of these programs as recommended changes in program procedures are implemented.
