It was determined total variance of these factors from percentage of cumulative variance is %77.478 in Principal Components Analysis, %74.620 in method of Unweighted Least Squares, %74.619 in analysis of Principal Axis Factoring, %74.608 in Alpha Factoring and %71.647 in Image Factoring. Also, in the four method of finding factor, 1. Factor is fat, 2. Factor is muscle and 3. Factor is called bone. However; Variables of İmage Factoring aren?t include name of factors accordingly differences in distribution of factors.
