AbstractThis thesis has compared the difference in percentage body fat between high school girls and college women and the physical activity and dietary patterns of high school girls and college women.The high school girls were selected from three high schools in Muncie, Indiana who intended to further their education. The college coeds were those women completing their first year of college at Ball State University. Skin-fold measurements were taken with a caliper at the iliac crest and triceps along with answering two questionnaires concerning physical activity and general dietary patterns.Statistical analysis of the data revealed: (1) no significant difference between percentage body fat of high school girls and college women (p >.05); (2) no relationship between dietary patterns and physical activity of high school girls and college women.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306
