“…These data demonstrate a trend to overweight or obesity in patients with poor functional mobility [42,43,44], which goes with our results. Also, several studies showed strong positive correlations between BMI and SFT measurements and MUAC [45,46,47], which was confirmed in our study.…”

Background/Aims: Patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) present with various degrees of short stature and nutritional disorders. Thus, we aimed to evaluate anthropometric and nutritional parameters in OI children and their variability among various types. Methods: Eighty-four patients with OI (types I, II, and IV) were subjected to the following anthropometric measurements: standing height (Ht), sitting height (SH), arm span, weight (Wt), and head circumference (HC), with calculation of Ht, SH, Wt, body mass index (BMI), and HC standard deviation scores (SDSs), and relative arm span. Triceps skinfold thickness (TSFT), subscapular skinfold thickness (SSFT), and mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) were measured, as well as dietary intake of macronutrients and calcium; also, energy requirements were calculated. Results: Ht SDS was reduced in OI-III and OI-IV compared to OI-I; SH SDS was reduced in OI-III compared to OI-I. HC SDS was more increased in OI-III than in OI-I and OI-IV. BMI SDS correlated with TSFT, SSFT, and MUAC. OI-III patients had the highest percentage of energy intake. The frequency of low macronutrient and calcium intake was highest in OI-III, while the frequency of low fat intake was highest in OI-I. Conclusions: Anthropometric and nutritional parameters differ among OI types. Assessment of anthropometric measurements and nutritional status in OI patients is important.

“…Some studies have examined the relationship between skinfolds and BMI 11,25,26 . Zambon et al 25 studied the correlation between BMI and TSF among 4,236 children in four surveys conducted in Paulínia, state of São Paulo, Brazil, and verified that the correlation between BMI and TSF were higher in the group of children with obesity risk.…”

-The aims of the present study were to assess the association of anthropometric measures with body mass index (BMI) and to verify the presence of abdominal adiposity in school children. This is a cross-sectional study conducted with 4,964 school children between 6 and 10 years of age registered in 345 schools from eight municipalities of the state of Santa Catarina (Brazil). The independent variables used were the following: subscapular (SSF) and triceps skinfold (TSF) thickness, arm circumference (AC), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). BMI was used as the dependent variable. Unadjusted and adjusted associations were estimated using linear regression and expressed as a regression coefficient (β). All anthropometric measurements were controlled during adjusted analysis to remain within the p < 0.20 model. Abdominal adiposity was defined as WHtR ≥ 0.5. The mean BMI was 17.4 kg/m 2 (SD = 2.8) in males and 17.2 kg/m 2 (SD = 2.8) in females. The mean anthropometric measurements for males and females respectively were as follows: SSF = 7.2 and 8.3mm; TSF = 10.8 and 12.6mm; AC = 20.0 and 20.2cm; WC = 60.1 and 58.5cm; HC = 71.3 and 71.9cm; WHR = 0.84 and 0.81; WHtR = 0.45 and 0.44. All anthropometric measurements were positively associated with BMI in the unadjusted analysis of both sexes. In the adjusted analysis, associations among males were as follows: SSF (β = 0.05), AC (β = 0.17), WC (β = 0.19), and WHtR (β = 30.5). Associations among females were as follows: SSF (β = 0.19), AC (β = 0.17), WC (β = 0.13), WHR (β = -6.2), and WHtR (β = 32.1). The prevalence of abdominal adiposity was 11.9%. It was concluded that the anthropometric indicators SSF, AC, WC, and WHtR had a satisfactory relationship with BMI in school children of both sexes. These measurements could be used, in addition to BMI, to determine total and central adiposity.

Estudo transversal realizado entre 2007-2008, com 4.964 escolares de 6 a 10 anos de idade, matriculados em 345 escolas de oito municípios do Estado de Santa Catarina. As variáveis independentes utilizadas foram: dobras cutâneas subescapular (DCS) e tricipital (DCT), circunferências do braço (CBr), cintura (CC) e quadril (CQ) e relações cintura/quadril (RCQ) e cintura/estatura (RCEst). O IMC foi utilizado como variável dependente. Associações brutas e ajustadas foram estimadas mediante regressão linear e expressados como coeficiente de regressão (β)....

“…Todavia, pouco contribui para a determinação do tecido adiposo, já que não distingue a massa gorda da massa muscular, e assim, não representa a distribuição da gordura corporal (5) . Em contrapartida, a circunferência da cintura (CC) definida por meio da medida da menor circunferência entre a crista ilíaca e o rebordo costal é, particularmente, melhor preditora da obesidade visceral, condição que representa alto risco para o desenvolvimento de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis como Diabetes mellitus tipo 2 e doenças cardiovasculares e, dessa forma, vem merecendo destaque nos estudos nacionais e internacionais (6)(7) .…”

“…A respeito do conhecimento produzido sobre o uso do IMC ou da CC para avaliar o padrão de gordura corporal, estudiosos do assunto na busca de uma resposta, demonstraram haver um coeficiente de correlação forte entre ambas as medidas, indicando que a circunferência da cintura consegue determinar, satisfatoriamente, crianças com IMC elevado (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15) . Ainda na literatura internacional, destacam-se estudos que concluíram que, dentre as medidas antropométricas, a CC é a que apresenta forte correlação com a distribuição de gordura apontada pelo DEXA (5,8) . Investigações realizadas no Brasil encontraram valores de correlação importantes entre o IMC e a CC, sugerindo o uso em conjunto para o diagnóstico da obesidade, sobrepeso e obesidade central (7,10,(16)(17) .…”

RESUMOObjetivo: Estabelecer uma correlação entre a circunferência da cintura e o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) na determinação do excesso de peso e distribuição de gordura em crianças de escolas públicas de Fortaleza -CE. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, realizado em 12 escolas da rede da pública da cidade de Fortaleza-CE. Participaram 727 crianças de ambos os sexos, com idade variando entre 6 a 11 anos. A coleta de dados ocorreu de março a junho de 2008. Resultados: Os resultados do inquérito mostraram que, de acordo com o IMC,11,4% das crianças encontravam-se em sobrepeso, 6,6% eram obesas e 30,9% apresentaram obesidade central. Conclusão: Nem toda criança obesa apresentava obesidade central, demonstrando que uma só medida antropométrica não é eficaz na determinação do padrão de gordura na infância. Descritores: Antropometria; Sobrepeso; Criança; Obesidade; Índice de massa corporal ABSTRACTObjective: To establish a correlation between waist circumference and Body Mass Index (BMI) and to determine overweight and fat distribution in children from public schools in Fortaleza -CE.

Abstract: these observations demonstrated a height correlation between BMI and TSF in children with obesity risk (group C). Therefore, we conclude that, in Brazil BMI can be used for children's research of obesity in population studies, instead of TSF.
