Group mean body weight and mean skinfold thickness increased at all the sites significantly almost throughout the stay. Maximum increase of mean body weight was 6.14 kg in November'90. Increase of skinfold thickness was maximum at abdomen (17.0 mm), mid - axilla (15.0 mm), juxtanipple (10.1mm), suprailliac (9.7mm) and subscapular (9.3mm) points. Mean increase of body weight showed positive correlation with the various skinfold thickness in each month. However, body weight was significantly correlated to the forearm, abdomen, juxtanipple, suprailiac and mid-axillary skinfold thickness only, except the forearm limb sites, that had very little significant correlation with body weight. Most of the reported observations on the changes of body composition on long term stay in Antarctica considered mainly skinfold changes in relation to body weight variations.These observations were mostly contradictory.
