5. Conclusions

This research set the task to investigate the correlation between lifestyle and body composition among young females. The results showed the existence of significantly relevant correlation among a large number of variables. This chiefly applies to the correlation between BFM% and SMM% in comparison with lifestyle score (r = 0.408, p < 0.01; r = 0.461, p < 0.01). As far as the relation between body composition and lifestyle point score is concerned, that correlation stood at the level of r = 0.505, p < 0.05. In addition, on a general level of correlation between BCS and LSS conducted by applying the method of mathematical modeling, it has been shown that the body score would rise by 2 points, that is, twice, if lifestyle score rises by 1 point. This is a clear evidence that a particular attention in further
