“…On the other hand, the authors observed that BAI overestimated the %BF in males by 1•01 %, while it underestimated by 4•06 % in females (28) . Using Cronbach's α and correlation analysis, Dias et al (7) found a significant correlation between the %BF values estimated by BAI and DXA, but the association between the methods using Cronbach's α analysis was only 39•3 %.…”

“…Dias et al (7) used the Bland-Altman residual score analysis and identified that BAI can either overestimate or underestimate the percentage of fat in young women. Colley et al (32) analysed the BAI and BAIp equations in relation to the %BF obtained by DXA in adolescents aged 12-17 years with BMI-for-age values above the 95th percentile and found that both indices underestimated the fat values.…”

“…In 2013, the paediatric body adiposity index (BAIp) ( 9 ) was also proposed to predict body fat in children and adolescents aged 5–12 years because the BAI, initially used for adults, overestimates body fat in the paediatric population ( 10 ) . BAI has been widely used for adults ( 7 , 8 , 11 ) ; whereas BAIp has still been scarcely used and no studies have been found which compare the use of BAI and BAIp in the evaluation of body composition with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in Brazilian children and adolescents.…”

ObjectiveTo evaluate agreement of the body adiposity index (BAI) and paediatric body adiposity index (BAIp) in estimating body fat compared with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and to propose cut-off points for these indices to classify excess adiposity in Brazilian children and adolescents.DesignCross-sectional study. Measures of weight, height, hip circumference, BMI and body fat percentage (%BF) assessed by DXA were taken, and BAI and BAIp were calculated. The Bland–Altman plot was used to estimate agreement between the methods, and the receiver-operating characteristic curve to determine the cut-off points for BAI and BAIp per age and sex in comparison with DXA.SettingViçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil.SubjectsChildren and adolescents aged 8–19 years (n 1049).ResultsOf the children and adolescents, 52·4 % were girls. BAI and BAIp had satisfactory performance by the receiver-operating characteristic curve, except for the 18–19 years age group, whose BAIp had better predictive capacity than BAI. The agreement analysis showed that BAI overestimated %BF by 2·64 %, on average, using DXA; while BAIp underestimated %BF by 3·37 %.ConclusionsBAI and BAIp showed low agreement with the body fat obtained by DXA, requiring caution when interpreting body composition data in children and adolescents.

“…Em relação ao IAC, verifica-se que o mesmo tem apresentado boa estimativa da gordura corporal de homens e mulheres adultas de diferentes etnias 26 . Entretanto, um estudo com mulheres adultas brasileiras demonstrou correlação moderada entre o IAC e a absortometria de raio-X de dupla energia (DEXA) 30 . A utilização do IAC, na população idosa brasileira, especialmente acima dos 70 anos, ainda é limitada.…”

Anthropometric Indicators Associated with the Cardiometabolic Risk of Elderly Women in Family Health Support Centers

et al. 2018

A antropometria representa um importante instrumento para a efetivação de práticas na atenção primária à saúde e, embora muitos indicadores antropométricos tenham sido utilizados, a razão cintura-estatura (RCE) e o índice de adiposidade corporal (IAC) têm sido pouco explorados neste contexto, especialmente, entre idosos. Portanto, este estudo analisou diferentes indicadores antropométricos associados ao risco cardiometabólico de idosas em Núcleos de Apoio à Saúde da Família (NASFs) da cidade de Patos-PB. Em um estudo transversal descritivo, 53 idosas [Média (DP); idade: 72 (6) anos, massa corporal: 66,3 (13,4) kg, estatura: 152,6 (5,1) cm] foram submetidas a medidas antropométricas de massa corporal, estatura e circunferências de cintura (CC), abdômen e quadril. Posteriormente, foram calculados: índice de massa corporal (IMC), RCE, índice de conicidade (IC) e IAC. O relacionamento entre os indicadores antropométricos foi calculado, a partir do coeficiente de correlação de Pearson (r). Os resultados demonstraram que a maioria das idosas apresentou risco elevado para doenças cardiometabólicas, independentemente dos indicadores empregados. Com exceção do IC, os indicadores antropométricos apresentaram moderados a excelentes relacionamentos entre si (P<0,05). Embora o IAC tenha demonstrado bons relacionamentos, a RCE foi o indicador com correlações mais fortes com os demais (0,606<r<0,954). Conclui-se que idosas cadastradas em diferentes NASFs da cidade de Patos-PB apresentaram risco moderado a elevado para doenças cardiometabólicas, sobretudo, a partir da análise conjunta do IMC/CC e da RCE. Assim, medidas antropométricas são recomendadas, a fim de contribuirem para a identificação de fatores predeterminantes de doenças não-comunicáveis em idosos na atenção primária à saúde.Palavras-chave: Antropometria.

AbstractAnthropometry represents an important tool for the implementation of primary health care practices, and although a lot of anthropometric indices have been used, the waist-height ratio (WHR) and the body adiposity index (BAI) have been little explored in this context, especially among the elderly. Therefore, this study analyzed different anthropometric indicators associated with the cardiometabolic risk of elderly women in Family Health Support Centers (FHSC) in Patos-PB. In a descriptive cross-sectional study, 53 elderly women [mean (SD); age: 72 (6) years, body mass: 66.3 (13.4) kg, height: 152.6 (5.1) cm] underwent anthropometric measures of body mass, height and waist (WC), abdomen and hip circumferences. Subsequently, body mass index (BMI), WHR, conicity index (CI) and BAI were calculated. The relationship among the anthropometric indexes was calculated using the Pearson correlation coefficient (r). Results showed the majority of the elderly presented a high risk for cardiometabolic diseases, regardless of the used index. With the exception of CI, the anthropometric indicators presented moderate to excellent relationships (P<0.05). Although BAI showed good relationships, the WHR was the indicator with stronger correlations with the others (0.606<r<0.954). In conclusion, elderly women enrolled in different FHSC in Patos-PB presented moderate to high risk for cardiometabolic diseases, mainly from the analysis of BMI and WC analysis together with WHR. Thus, anthropometric measures are recommended in order to contribute to the identification of predictors of noncommunicable diseases in the elderly in primary health care.Keywords: Anthropometry.

Validity of the Body Adiposity Index in Predicting Body Fat in Adults: A Systematic Review

The Body Adiposity Index (BAI) is a practical anthropometric method used to measure body fat (BF) percentage (BF%). Recently developed, the validity and precision of BAI has been studied with adult samples of men and women, populations from different countries and ethnicities, varying amounts of BF, and sensitivity to detecting change over time. However, it is still necessary to determine its potential use in clinical practice and epidemiologic studies. Thus, our objective was to verify, through a systematic review, the validity of the BAI in predicting BF% in adults. Two independent researchers performed a search using PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Scopus databases. In order to be included, the studies had to use dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as a reference method. We excluded studies with samples from individuals with diseases or syndromes that alter the regional distribution of BF%. We included 19 studies with samples on individuals from different continents, varied ethnicities, both sexes, and a wide age range (18-83 y). The concordance of the BAI with DXA assessed by Lin's concordance correlation coefficient showed results classified as poor (pc < 0.90). Bland-Altman plots showed that the BAI produced large individual errors when predicting BF% in all studies using this analysis. The studies were consistent in affirming that the BAI showed limited capacity to estimate BF% in adults. The BAI shows wide individual errors, in agreement with the reference method, and a lack of sensitivity in detecting change in BF% over time. The method presents a systematic error of BF% overestimation in individuals with ≤20% of BF, and underestimation in individuals with >30% of BF, regardless of sex, age, and ethnicity. The results of this systematic review show enough evidence that the BAI does not present satisfying results, and its use is not recommended for BF% determination in adults.
