The findings are as follows:Firstly, with their aging, the two male groups of Datong senior citizens do not reflect distinct differences on shape indexes, however, the female groups show distinct differences on weight, BMI index. With their aging, the body enginery and diathesis take on a trend of decline, the speed of senior females faster than that of males.Secondly, there exist obvious differences between Datong city zone senior citizens and Datong contrycide zone ones. On the body formation and diathesis, those in city are higher than that in contrycide. Moreover, most of the indexes present an obvious difference. Muscle power and fexiblity of senior males between 60 and 64, and flexibility of seniro females between 60 and 64 in city are better than that in countrycide, but the gap is not very big, while other diathesis indexes in city are better than that in countrycide, the gap being big.Thirdly, compared with other senior citizens in Shanxi province, the changing laws of Datong senior citizens' body formation, enginery and diathesis are in basical accordance with that of other seniro citizens in Shanxi province. These indexes of body formation and diathesis of Datong senior males are higher than that of those in other areas of Shanxi province, and the differences of some indexes are distinct; while the vital capacity is lower, and the difference is not distinct. Both senior females in and out of Datong city in Shanxi province have the similar body formation and eniginery, however, the muscle power and joint ligament flexibility are quite different.Fourthly, compareed with senior citizens in other provinces in China, the indexes of body formation, enginery, diathesis are mostly higher, and the differences are distinct.Fifthly, the senior citizens both in and out of Datong in Shanxi province have the similar changing law in respects of body formation, enginery and diathesis, i.e. with their aging, their body formation, enginery and diathesis take on a trend of decline.Sixthly, those who often do exexcises in Datong province account for 24%, those never 45.2%, and those occasionally 30.8%, so the overall conditon of senior citizens' exercising is not optimistic.Seventhly, with a view of the formation index, those who often do exercises have a lower BMI index than those never or occasionally, and the never doing-exercises senior groupis intend to be fat.
