“…Participants were asked to fast overnight for at least 10 hours. After the assessors manually introduced the age, sex and height into the scale system, the participants stood on the scale with light clothes and bared foot 26 . Skinfolds thickness (sum of skinfolds); Triceps and subscapular skinfolds were measured with a skinfold calliper, with a constant pressure of 10 g/mm 2 (Harpenden Skinfold Caliper Model HSB-BI, UK) according to standard procedures 23 .…”

Background and aim: Paradoxically, recent investigations have showed that adiponectin levels are inversely associated with muscle strength. However, to date, there is a lack of knowledge on the relationship between muscular fitness (MF) and adiponectin levels in adolescents. We aimed to examine the independent associations between MF and adiponectin levels in adolescents, controlling for several potential confounders. Methods and results: This is a cross-sectional analysis with 529 Portuguese adolescents aged 12-18 years. A MF score was computed as the mean of the handgrip strength and standing long jump standardized values by age and gender. We measured fasting glucose, insulin, HDL-cholesterol, C-reactive protein and adiponectin. Linear regression analysis showed a significant inverse association between adiponectin (Z-score by age and sex) and MF score, after adjustments for age, sex, pubertal stage, socioeconomic status, adherence to the Mediterranean diet, body mass index, HOMA-IR, HDL-cholesterol, C-reactive protein and cardiorespiratory fitness (unstandardized β = -0.176; p < 0.005). Analysis of covariance showed a significant difference between the Low MF/Non-overweight group and the High MF/Non-overweight Group (p < 0.05) and between the Low MF/Non-overweight and High MF/Overweight Group (p < 0.05) (F (5, 523) = 2.262, p = 0.047). Conclusion: Adiponectin circulating levels are inversely and independently associated with MF. In nonoverweight adolescents, those with high levels of MF presented lower levels of adiponectin compared to those with Low MF. Likewise, overweight adolescents with High MF presented lower levels of serum adiponectin than non-overweight adolescents with Low MF.

“…Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a practical method and non-invasive bedside technique, and it evaluates specific body composition parameters (14). In addition, it is possible to obtain the phase angle (PA) value through BIA, a variable that indicates cell membrane integrity and can be used as a prognostic indicator and a predictor of survival under certain clinical conditions (15).…”

Palabras clave:Trastorno del espectro autista. Composición corporal. Estado nutricional. Nutrición. ResumenIntroducción: el trastorno del espectro autista (TEA) es un trastorno neurológico caracterizado por defi ciencias en la sociabilidad y la comunicación, y un repertorio limitado de intereses y comportamientos. Objetivos: investigar el estado nutricional por medio del análisis de impedancia bioeléctrica (BIA) y variables antropométricas en 63 niños y adolescentes con TEA (10,5 ± 4,1 años, 81% hombres). Material y métodos: las variables antropométricas fueron el peso, la altura y la circunferencia de la cintura (CC); la composición corporal (masa grasa, masa magra) y el ángulo de fase (PA) se obtuvieron por medio de BIA. Resultados: el índice de masa corporal mostró una prevalencia del sobrepeso, la obesidad y el bajo peso de 38,9, 36,5 y 15,8%, respectivamente. De acuerdo con el porcentaje de grasa corporal, la prevalencia de obesidad fue del 49,2%, y el 49,2% mostró CC > percentil 80 para la edad. Once pacientes presentaron valores de PA inferiores a las referencias. Conclusión: de acuerdo con estos parámetros, un gran porcentaje de niños y adolescentes TEA en esta muestra presentaba adiposidad total de sobrepeso y obesidad y del tronco, lo que causa preocupación, así como el porcentaje de participantes con bajo peso. AbstractBackground: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by defi cits in sociability, communication, and limited repertoire of interests and behaviors. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the nutritional status through bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and antrophometrics variables in 63 ASD children and adolescents (10.5 ± 4.1 years; 81% male). Materials and methods: Anthropometric variables were weight, height, and waist circumference (WC); body composition (fat mass, fat free mass) and phase angle (PA) were obtained through BIA. Results: The body mass index showed a prevalence of overweight, obesity and underweight of 38.9, 36.5 and 15.8%, respectively. According to the body fat percentual, obesity prevalence was 49.2%, and 49.2% showed WC > 80 th percentile for age. Eleven patients presented lower PA values than references. Conclusion: According to the these parameters, a large percentual of ASD children and adolescents in this sample had total overweight and obesity and truncal adiposity, which causes concern, as well as the percentage of underweight participants.

“…Estudos que investigaram a estimativa da composição corporal pela BIA em comparação ao DEXA em indivíduos obesos tem encontrado que este método subestima a MG e superestima a MLG [6][7] . No presente estudo, a equação proposta por Houtkooper et al 13 também subestimou a MG (-1,5 kg) e superestimou a MLG (+1,4 kg), corrroborando com esses estudos.…”

RESUMOIntrodução: A impedância bioelétrica (BIA) tem sido bastante utilizada para o monitoramento da composição corporal em indivíduos de diferentes idades e estados nutricionais. Entretanto, não se sabe qual das equações propostas para crianças e adolescentes é a mais recomendada para utilização em adolescentes com excesso de peso. Objetivo: Verificar a concordância dos métodos de BIA usando três equações diferentes com a absorciometria de raio-X de dupla energia (DXA), para análise da composição corporal de adolescentes com sobrepeso e obesidade. Métodos: Participaram do estudo 27 adolescentes do sexo feminino, com sobrepeso e obesidade. Foram avaliados o percentual de gordura corporal (%GC), a massa gorda (MG) e a massa livre de gordura (MLG) por DXA e por BIA utilizando as equações propostas por Houtkooper, Schaefer e Deurenberg. ANOVA oneway, gráficos de Bland-Altman e o coeficiente de correlação intraclasse foram utilizados para comparação e verificação da concordância entre os métodos. Resultados: A BIA utilizando a equação proposta por Houtkooper foi a única que não apresentou diferença estatística significativa na estimativa de %GC, MG e MLG em comparação ao DXA e apresentou boa concordância com o DXA na estimativa de %GC (-1,9 ± 3,29%), MG (1,5 ± 2,59 kg) e MLG (1,4 ± 2,60 kg), bem como boa reprodutibilidade para %GC (CCI = 0,81), MG (0,96) e MLG (0,89). As equações de Schaefer e de Deurenberg apresentaram menor concordância com o DXA, superestimando a MG e subestimando a MLG e apresentaram reprodutibilidade de moderada a baixa na maioria das medidas da composição corporal. Conclusão: Quando comparamos as três equações propostas para BIA com o DXA, verificamos que a equação proposta por Houtkooper foi a que melhor concordou com DXA e apresentou boa reprodutibilidade para estimar %GC, MG e MLG em adolescentes com sobrepeso e obesidade.Palavras-chave: impedância elétrica, obesidade, adolescente, composição corporal. ABSTRACT Introduction: The bioelectrical impedance (BIA) has been widely used for monitoring body composition of individuals of different ages and nutritional statuses. However, it is unknown which of the equations for children
