Aplicabilidade de equações na avaliação da composição corporal da população brasileira

Abstract: O excesso de gordura corporal está, freqüentemente, associado a alterações metabólicas importantes e às doenças crônicas, como diabetes, hipertensão arterial e dislipidemias. A disponibilidade de métodos que permitam estimar a composição corporal é fundamental para avaliação de atletas e do estado de saúde de indivíduos. Entre os métodos existentes, as medidas de dobras cutâneas são habitualmente utilizadas na população brasileira, devido à sua facilidade e relativa precisão em estimar a gordura corporal.

“…These results are particularly important, given that excess adipose tissue and mainly its accumulation in the abdominal region is associated with several undesirable metabolic diseases (34). WC has been pointed as the best anthropometric indicator of visceral fat accumulation.…”

“…However, for being a two-compartment model for assessing body composition, the predictive equations of body fat do not allow a specific measurement of the amount of muscle mass and especially the AMM for diagnosing sarcopenia. Therefore, several models of predictive equations to assess AMM have been developed in samples composed of individuals with specific characteristics [33-35]; therefore for use in a general way or in other populations, these models must be validated [33,36-38]. …”

“…This technique is used by health professionals in clinical practice with the objective of recording body measurements such as weight, height, skinfolds and body circumferences 16 . When linked to indexes or predictive equations, these body measurements, also referred to as anthropometric indicators, can provide information on the quantity of the individual's fat mass 17,18 . Several studies have been carried out with the objective of investigating the accuracy of anthropometric measurements in the description of body fat quantity in different populations, justified by the need to gather measurements in a shorter timeframe, with lower cost and greater simplicity [19][20][21][22] .…”
