“…Além disso, a determinação da eficácia do IAC permite diagnósticos acurados da composição corporal, já que, o índice de massa corporal (IMC) apresenta divergências na determinação do sobrepeso e da obesidade na população brasileira 11 . A utilização de um método validado para a estimativa da composição corporal na população brasileira em conjunto como outras medidas clínicas, poderia permitir o estabelecimento de estratégias de Saúde Pública com maior eficiência na prevenção primária ou secundária de enfermidades, principalmente no que concernem as doenças crônicas degenerativas não transmissíveis 19,21 .…”

“…É fato, que uma equação de estimativa da composição corporal oriunda de população, necessita ser analisada e validada antes de ser aplicada em outra população 5,7 . A importância de se analisar a aplicabilidade de equações de estimativa da composição corporal na população brasileira, centra-se na utilização de método de baixo custo como a estimativa do %G, pelo índice de massa corporal (IMC), a perimetria e as dobras cutânea, que permitem diagnosticar os aspectos nutricionais 10,11 , como também, fomentar parâmetros para estabelecer as cargas de trabalho nos programas de exercícios como forma de prevenção de doenças degenerativas não transmissíveis 2,12 . Dentre os métodos de baixo custo aplicados, o IMC é o que tem sofrido mais críticas nos últimos anos, por não analisar os componentes da composição corporal.…”

INTRODUÇÃO: A estimativa da composição corporal é um campo de estudo importante no prognóstico e diagnóstico de enfermidades degenerativas. OBJETIVO: Analisar a aplicabilidade do Índice de adiposidade corporal (IAC) e o método de dobras cutâneas. MÉTODOS: A amostra foi constituída por 19 adultas jovens com média de idade 24,53 ± 2,65 anos, submetidas à avaliação antropométrica (circunferências e dobras cutâneas) e absorsiometria por dupla emissão de raio X (DXA). Os valores estimados foram comparados ao valor de referência por meio do teste t pareado e pela análise do nível de associação entre os métodos pela correlação de Pearson; o nível de significância foi p < 0,05. RESULTADOS: Não apontaram diferenças significativas entre o percentual de gordura estimado pelo IAC e os valores de referência, porém, tiveram nível de associação moderado (r = 0,627). No entanto, o método de dobras cutâneas apresentou diferença estatística significante (p > 0,05) com nível de associação forte (r = 0,879). CONCLUSÃO: Embora o IAC não apresente diferença para os valores estimados, fica evidente a necessidade de mais estudos sobre a aplicabilidade do método na população brasileira.

“…Dos Anjos et al (2013) research on 352 women in Brazil showed an average percentage of body fat that increased at an older age. The percentage of body fat with the age range of 40-50 years is 39.6 ± 0.59% and the age range of 50-60 years is 40.3 ± 0.65% [6]. The results of other studies in China also obtained a body fat percentage of 33.12 ± 5.85% in 154 women aged 40.46 ± 13.28 years.…”

“…Based on the U.S., the National Institutes of Health Criteria standards for percent body fat and the American Dietetic Association/Canadian Dietetic Association, body fat percentage values defined as obesity when body fat percentage in men ≥25% and women ≥30%. Differences in the percentage values are found in the study of Zhao et al (2013), which define obesity with a number >25% in men and >35% who rely on the previous studies [6], [7], [8].…”

Background: Cardiometabolic disease risk is increasing in the premenopausal phase of women life. This study aims to relationship body fat percentage with the modifiable risk factors of cardiometabolic disease in Minangkabau premenopausal people. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 111 Minangkabau premenopausal people, aged 40 â€“ 55 years old at Padang City in West Sumatera, Indonesia. Body fat percentage analyzed by Bioelectrical Impedance Analyzer (BIA). Fasting blood glucose and lipid profile was examined from venous blood. Data were analyzed by using a Rank-Spearman correlation test with significant levels p<0.05. Results:Average body fat percentage of subjects 36.23 Â± 6.9, fasting blood glucose 101.52 Â± 12.3 mg/dL; total cholesterol 193.99Â±41.5 mg/dL; triglyceride 113.76Â±37.9 mg/dL mg/dL; LDL-cholesterol 120.59Â±45.7 mg/dL and HDL-cholesterol 53.52Â±15.6 mg/dL. Body fat percentage has a significant correlation with triglyceride (r=0.368; p=0.001), and HDL-cholesterol levels (r=-0.307; p=0.006 ) just in subject with polymorphism, but does not have a significant correlation with another biomarker. Conclusion: Body fat percentage correlates with triglyceride and HDL cholesterol in Minangkabau premenopausal women who have polymorphism of TERT Gene. BACKGROUND: Cardiometabolic disease risk is increasing in the premenopausal phase of women life. The telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene is a gene that plays a role in protecting telomeres from progressive shortening. Telomere shortening is associated with the incidence of cardiometabolic disease. AIM: This study aims to elucidate the relationship body fat percentage with the modifiable risk factors of cardiometabolic disease in Minangkabau premenopausal people. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 111 Minangkabau premenopausal people aged 40–55 years old at Padang City in West Sumatera, Indonesia. Body fat percentage analyzed by bioelectrical impedance analyzer. Fasting blood glucose and lipid profile were examined from venous blood. Polymorphism of the TERT rs2736098 gene was analyzed by a polymerase chain reaction. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation test with significant levels p < 0.05. RESULTS: Average body fat percentage of subjects was 36.23 ± 6.9, fasting blood glucose was 101.52 ± 12.3 mg/dL; total cholesterol was 193.99 ± 41.5 mg/dL; triglyceride was 113.76 ± 37.9 mg/dL; LDL-cholesterol was 120.59 ± 45.7 mg/dL and HDL-cholesterol was 53.52±15.6 mg/dL. Body fat percentage has a significant correlation with triglyceride (r = 0.368; p = 0.001) and HDL-cholesterol levels (r = −0.307; p = 0.006) just in subject with polymorphism but does not have a significant correlation with another biomarker. CONCLUSION: Body fat percentage correlates with triglyceride and HDL cholesterol in Minangkabau premenopausal women who have polymorphism of TERT gene.

“…Underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m 2 ), normal-weight (between 18.5 -25 kg/m 2 ) overweight (between 25 -30 kg/m 2 ) and obese (BMI > 30 kg/m 2 ) was identified by BMI criteria recommended by World Health Organization [9] . PBF level was classified according to categories recommended by tanita validation reports [10] . In 18 -39 years old women PBF was categorized as low (< 21%), normal (21 -35%), increased (35 -40%) and high ( > 40%), while in 40 -59 years old women it was categorized as low ( < 22%), normal (22 -36%), increased (36 -41%) and high ( > 41%).…”

Objective: To assess the nutritional status of women in urban and semi-urban regions of Gujarat. Methodology: A cross-sectional study on 605 women (aged 18-50 years) from urban and semi urban region was conducted in Gujarat, Western India. The parameters analyzed were anthropometry and body composition. Assessment of nutritional status was performed using BMI to evaluate percentage underweight, overweight and obesity. The analysis was stratified for the regions (urban or semi-urban) and type of occupation (students, housewives, working women). Chi square test was used to estimate percentage prevalence of underweight, overweight and obesity amongst different groups of women. Results: Students from urban region had higher mean BMI (21.4 ± 3.7 kg/m 2) and PBF (29.5 ± 5.9%) as compared to students of semi urban region (BMI: 19.8 ± 3.7 kg/ m 2 ; PBF: 26.0 ± 6.1%) (p < 0.05). Homemakers of urban region showed significantly lower BMI (24.7 ± 4.3 kg/m 2) and PBF (34.8 ± 6.2%) as compared to homemakers of semi-urban region (BMI: 26.0 ± 4.8 kg/m 2 ; PBF: 36.6 ± 6.2%) (p < 0.05). Working women group in both regions did not differ significantly for their BMI and PBF (p > 0.05). Students of semi-urban region showed high percentage of underweight (43.60%) as compared to students of urban region (19%) (p < 0.05). While in homemakers of semi-urban region 41% overweight and 19% obesity was observed whereas, in urban region it was 31% and 12% respectively (p < 0.05). Percentage of underweight, overweight and obesity was not significantly different in working women amongst two regions (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The study indicated coexistence of obesity and under-nutrition in semi-urban region of Gujarat. These dual nutritional health problems are developing specially in urbanizing areas of our country.
