Abstract

Introduction: In this study, we aimed to define the circumference and skinfold thickness, and by means of bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) the anthropometric measurements of a group of Turkish elderly, and to determine the association of these measurements with age and gender.Materials and Method: Circumference, skinfold thickness and BIA values of 100 elderly people living in Izmir, Narl›dere Geriatric Care Center and Residential Home were measured and analyzed.Results: Hip and thigh circumferences were higher in women whereas waist circumferences were higher in men. In addition upper arm and thigh circumferences were negatively correlated with age. Skinfold thickness values were lower in men. Basal metabolism, fat free mass (FFM, FFMI), muscle mass (MM), body fluid (TBW, ICW, ECW) of BIA measurements were higher in men in addition to height and weight values. Body weight and body fat values decreased with age. In addition FFMI was significantly lower over 80 years of age.Conclusion: This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of body composition including BIA measurements of a group of Turkish elderly.

Özet

Giriş: Bu çalışmada, bir grup Türk yaşlısının çevre ölçümlerini, deri kıvrım kalınlıklarını ve biyoelektrik empedans (BIA) yöntemi ile antropometrik ölçümlerini tanımlamayı ve bu ölçümlerin yaş ve cinsiyet ile ilişkisini belirlemeyi amaçladık.Gereç ve Yöntem: İzmir, Narlıdere Dinlenme ve Bakımevi'nde yaşayan 100 yaşlının çevre ölçümleri, deri kıvrım kalınlıkları ve BIA değerleri ölçüldü ve analiz edildi.Bulgular: Kalça ve uyluk çevresi kadınlarda yüksek iken bel çevresi erkeklerde yüksekti. Buna ilaveten üst kol ve uyluk çevreleri yaşla negatif koreleydi. Deri kıvrım kalınlığı değerleri erkeklerde düşüktü. Boy, kilo değerlerine ek olarak biyoelektriksel empedans (BIA) ölçümlerinden bazal metabolizma, yağ dışı kitle (FFM, FFMI), kas kitlesi ve vücut sıvısı (TBW, ICW, ECW) ölçümleri erkeklerde daha yüksekti. Vücut ağırlığı ve vücut yağı ilerleyen yaşla birlikte düşmekteydi. Buna ek olarak FFMI, 80 yaşın üzerinde anlamlı olarak düşüktü.Sonuç: Bu çalışma bir grup yaşlımızın vücut kompozisyonlarının BIA ölçümlerini de içeren kapsamlı bir değerlendirmesini sunmaktadır.
