Abstract

Objective: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) represents a proportion of visceral fat distributed around the heart. Measurement of EAT thickness is important for the diagnosis of visceral obesity. Skinfold thickness has been used in both clinical and research settings for visceral obesity diagnosis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation between skinfold and EAT thickness in healthy professional male soccer players.Material and Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted with twenty professional male soccer players (mean age, 22.50+2.80 years). Anthropometric data was collected for all patients and skinfold measurements were obtained with a caliper. EAT thickness was assessed in parasternal long axis view by transthoracic echocardiography.Results: Mean body mass index and waist circumference were 22.81±2.1 kg/m2 and 78.80±6.59 cm, mean EAT thickness and body fat ratio were 3.45±0.94 mm and 10.89±4.04%, respectively. EAT thickness was significantly correlated with body fat percentage (r=0.518, p=0.019). EAT thickness was also significantly correlated with age, body mass index, body surface area and waist circumference. EAT thickness did not showed any correlation with systolic and diastolic blood pressure.Conclusion: This study has shown that there was a relationship between body fat ratio and EAT thickness in male soccer players who are considered to be healthy and physically fit.

Özet

Amaç: Epikardiyal yağ dokusu (EYD), kalbin etrafındaki viseral yağ oranı olarak tanımlanır. Deri kıvrım kalınlığı ve EYD klinikte viseral obezite tanısı için, araştırmalarda fiziksel performans belirlemede klinikte ve kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı sağlıklı profesyonel erkek futbolcularda deri altı yağ kıvrım kalınlığı ölçümüyle elde edilen vücut yağ yüzdesi (VYY) ile EYD kalınlığı arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmektir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma 20 profesyonel erkek futbolcu ile (ortalama yaş; 22.50±2.80 yıl) prospektif, kesitsel bir çalışma olarak yapılmıştır. Tüm hastaların antropometrik verileri elde edildikten sonra, deri altı yağ kıvrım kalınlığı deri kıvrımı ölçüm cihazı ile ölçülmüştür, EYD kalınlığı ise parasternal uzun eksen görünümü ile transtorasik ekokardiyografi aracılığıyla değerlendirilmiştir.Bulgular: Ortalama beden kütle indeksi (BKİ) ile bel çevresi sırasıyla 22.81±2.1 kg/m2 ve 78.80±6.59 cm, EYD kalınlığı ile VYY ise 3.45±0.94 mm ve %10.89±4.04 olarak saptanmıştır. EYD kalınlığı, VYY ile istatistiksel olarak anlamlı pozitif korelasyon (r=0.518, p=0.019) göstermiştir. Ayrıca EYD kalınlığı ile bel çevresi, yaş, beden kütle indeksi (BKİ), vücut yüzey alanı da (VYA) istatistiksel olarak anlamlı pozitif korelasyon göstermiştir. EYD kalınlığı ile sistolik ve diyastolik kan basınçları arasında korelasyon saptanmamıştır.Sonuç: Yapılan bu çalışma ile sağlıklı ve fiziksel uygunluğu olduğu düşünülen erkek futbolcularda da vücut yağ oranları ile EYD kalınlığı arasında ilişki olduğu gösterilmiştir.
