Abstract

The reliability of upper limb anthropometry as a predictor of body fat in obese women. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationships between upper limb anthropometric parameters and body fat in obese (body mass index, BMI >27 kg/m2) women. Study group is consisted of 215 obese subjects. There were significant positive correlations between upper arm area (TUA) and weight (r:.7393), BMI (r:.7434), fat mass determined by bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) (FW) (r:,7288) and lean mass by BIA (LW) (r:.5120); between upper arm fat area (UFA) and weight (r:.7112), BMI (r:.6659), FW (r:.7074) ve LW (r:.5346) and between corrected arm muscle area (cAMA) and weight (r:.7133), BMI (r:.7192), FW (r:.6920) and ve LW (r:.4996). In conclusion, TUA, UFA and cAMA were simple equations to assess body composition.

Özet

Bu çalışma şişman kadınlarda vücut yağ miktarının belirlenmesinde üst kol antropometrik parametrelerinin değerini araştırmak amacıyla yapıldı. 215 şişman (vücut kitle indeksi, BMI>27 kg/m2) kadında üst kol antropometrik ölçümlerinden hesaplanan total üst kol alanı (TUA) ağırlık (r:.7393), vücut kitle indeksi (BMI) (r:.7434), biyoelektrik impedans analiz (BIA) yöntemi ile hesaplanan yağ (FW) (r:.7288) ve adale kitlesi (LW) (r:.5120); üst kol yağ. alanı (UFA) ile ağırlık (r:.7112), BMI (r:.6659), FW (r:.7074) ve LW (r:.5346) ve düzeltilmiş adale alanı (cAMA) ile ağırlık (r:.7133), BMI (r:.7192), FW (r:.6920) ve LW (r:.4996) arasında anlamlı pozitif ilişkiler saptandı (tümü için p:.000). Bu bulgular üst kol antropometrik paremetrelerinin şişman kadınlarda vücut bileşimi (vücut yağ miktarı) hakkında fikir verebileceğini desteklemektedir.
