“…1,16 Some studies have also revealed strong correlations between triceps skinfold thickness and FM determined by BIA or D 2 O; [26][27][28] the same occurring with FFM determined by mid-arm muscle mass circumference and triceps skinfold thickness. 17,29 Other studies with children and adolescents with cancer show that FM can be predicted with reasonable confidence using arm anthropometry. They demonstrated a good correlation between MUAC and DXA.…”

“…Many different techniques are available, from relatively easy-to-use, cheap methods, including weight, height, BMI, circumferences, and skinfold measurement, to more expensive and technical approaches, such as BIA, D 2 O, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and others. 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 Each of these methods has advantages and limitations. The current study aimed to determine the association between different body composition measures (anthropometry, BIA, and D 2 O dilution) to find a useful, quick, and easy instrument for daily practice.…”

Objective: To explore changes in the nutritional status of pediatric cancer patients before and after chemotherapy and evaluate the correlation between deuterium oxide dilution, bioelectric impedance analysis, and anthropometry for assessment of body composition. Methods: This study included 14 children (aged 5.6 to 13.6 years) and classified them as having hematologic or solid tumors. They had their body composition analyzed according to deuterium oxide, bioelectric impedance, and anthropometric measurements before the first chemotherapy cycle and after three and six months of therapy. Results: The patients in the hematologic tumor group had an increase in weight, height, body mass index, waist, hip, and arm circumference, subscapular skinfold thickness, and fat mass with the isotope dilution technique during chemotherapy. In the solid tumor group, the children showed a reduction in fat-free mass when assessed by bioimpedance analysis. We found a positive correlation between the triceps skinfold thickness and fat mass determined by bioimpedance analysis and deuterium oxide. The arm muscle circumference correlated with the fat-free mass estimated by bioimpedance analysis and deuterium oxide. Conclusions: Patients with hematologic tumors had an increase in body weight, height, and fat mass, which was not identified in the solid tumor group. The positive correlation between anthropometry (triceps skinfold thickness and arm muscle circumference), deuterium oxide dilution, and bioelectric impedance analysis shows the applicability of anthropometry in clinical practice.

“…The consensus of Brazilian oncological nutrition specialists describes TSF as one of the variables for nutritional diagnosis to be used before, during and after chemotherapy and radiotherapy in children over the age of 2 years [31]. Measuring body fat using the tricipital skinfold enables measuring both the quantity and the body distribution of adipose tissue, thus meaning a better correlation with the excess weight than BMI [25,32]. In the sample studied we found 24.0% excess fat with this measure.…”

“…Our study found a statistically significant difference in relation to height for age between M1 and M3 (p=0.016); and between M2 and M3 (p=0.006), demonstrating a possible deficit in growth over treatment. It is known that reduction in linear growth is a common finding in cancer survivors, although most of the survivors treated with chemotherapy reach normal height and puberty when adults [25].…”

Changes in nutritional status in adolescents surviving leukemia and lymphoma

Objective To examine the changes in the nutritional status of adolescents aged 10-19 years after a minimum 12 months interval following oncological treatment for leukemias and lymphomas. Methods Longitudinal design quantitative study conducted at Hospital de Clínicas, Porto Alegre. Adolescents aged 10-19 years after a minimum 12 months interval following oncological treatment for leukemias and lymphomas were included. The measures of weight, height, brachial circumference, triceps skinfold thickness, arm muscle circumference and abdominal circumference were collected. Results The sample comprised 50 adolescents who had survived leukemias and lymphomas. In the follow up 38% of the patients were classified as overweight according to the body mass index for their age. There was a significant increase in body mass index for age between the beginning and the end of treatment and follow up (p=0.013) in female individuals, compared to males. The results indicate a reduction in the Z-score means of height for age, with significant differences between the beginning of treatment and follow up (p=0.016); and end of treatment and follow up (p=0.006) in patients of both genders Conclusion The anthropometric indicators show an important frequency of excess weight and increased tricipital skinfold, as well as a significant increase of the body mass index for age and also a growth deficit among the survivors.
