O uso da ultra-sonografia na avaliação da distribuição de gordura abdominal

Abstract: RESUMO A quantificação da adiposidade visceral é de suma importância, pois a gordura visceral é a grande responsável pelas complicações metabólicas da população obesa. O método de escolha para tal quantificação é a Tomografia Computadorizada. No entanto, este exame tem alto custo, é pouco prático e submete os indivíduos aos riscos da irradiação. A medida de cintura, a relação cintura-quadril e o diâmetro sagital são métodos que determinam indiretamente a gordura visceral. A ultra-sonografia tem sido proposta c… Show more

“…For bioelectrical impedance (BIA) we gathered values of fat mass, lean mass and body water in percentage and kilograms using a bioimpedance device model 1500 Bodystat with simple frequency. To determine the nutritional status according to the percentage of body fat, we adopted the classification of Lohman et al 18 ; arm circumference in centimeters, a technique proposed by Lohman et al 13 , where the measurements were compared to the reference standard 15 ; arm muscle circumference (AMC) in centimeters, estimated by the formula: AMC = BS -3.14 x TS, whose results were compared with the reference standard 15 ; thickness of abdominal fat (subcutaneous and intra-abdominal) measured by ultrasonography, according to a validated technique 19 . We obtained the estimation of visceral fat with the patient fasting for at least six hours, in the supine position, at the umbilicus, in the xifoumbilical line, with the minimum pressure necessary, by means of an ultrasound equipment.…”

“…This type of obesity can be determined by anthropometric measurements, abdominal ultrasound and nuclear magnetic resonance 11 . Although ultrasound and tomography are measures with greater accuracy in the determination of abdominal fat 12 , anthropometric measurements allow a greater applicability 13,14 because they are inexpensive and easy to execute 15,16 . Moreover, they correlated well with imaging methods, making possible its use in outpatient care units 15,17 .…”

“…El DAS representa la talla abdominal incluyendo la distancia entre la espalda y el abdomen. Esta medición se puede realizar con la ayuda de un compás o calibre o por técni-cas de imagen como TC, RM o ultrasonidos (US) 9,10,16,17 . El DAS ha llamado la atención de la comunidad científica, especialmente después de los estudios de Henry Kahn, uno de los pioneros en la aplicación de esta medida para predecir el riesgo de morbilidad y mortalidad cardiovasculares 18,19 .…”
