Abstract

The reliability of thigh anthropometry as a predictor of body fat in obese women. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationships between thigh anthropometric parameters (femur skinfold thickness, midthigh circumference, total thigh area, thigh muscle and bone area and thigh subcutaneous adipose tissue) and body fat mass determined by bioelectric impedance (BIA), BMI and weight in overweight and obese (body mass index, BMI >25 kg/m2) women. Study group is consisted of 115 subjects. There were significant positive correlations between thigh fat mass and weight (r:.5831), BMI (r:.5585), fat mass determined by bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) (r:.5073) ( p value is 0.000 for all). The measurement of thigh parameters are likely to prove useful in clinical evaluation and field studies of body fat mass in obese women.

Özet

Femur parametrelerinin vücut yağ miktarını belirlemedeki değerini incelemek amacıyla 115 fazla kilolu ve şişman kadında femur parametreleri ile biyoelektrik impedans analizi (BIA) bulguları arasındaki ilişki araştırıldı. Fazla kiloluluk kriteri olarak beden kitle indeksinin (body mass index, BMI) 25 kg/m2'nin üzerinde bulunması kabul edildi. Femur deri kıvrım kalınlığı, femur ortası çap, total femur alam, femur yağsız doku alanı ve femur yağ alam ile BIA parametreleri (yüzde yağ oranı, mutlak yağ miktarı, yüzde yağsız kitle oranı ve mutlak yağsız kitle miktarı), BMI ve ağırlık arasında anlamlı ilişkiler bulundu. En anlamlı ilişkileri femur yağ alanı gösterdi (ağırlık ile r= .5831, BMI ile r= .5585, mutlak yağ miktarı ile r= .5073, hepsi için p= .000). Bulgularımız femur parametrelerinin fazla kilolu ve şişman kadınlarda vücut yağ miktarı hakkında fikir verebileceğini desteklemektedir.
