Validade de equações antropométricas para a estimativa da gordura corporal em idosos do sul do Brasil DOI:10.5007/1980-0037.2010v12n1p1

Abstract: Resumo -O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar a validade cruzada de equações antropométricas para a estimativa do percentual de gordura corporal (%GC) em idosos brasileiros. Foram avaliados 180 idosos (120 mulheres e 60 homens) com idade entre 60 e 81 anos, a partir da medida das variáveis de estatura, massa corporal e perímetros corporais. Sete equações baseadas em medidas antropométricas foram testadas em relação aos critérios de validade cruzada sugeridos por Lohman. Utilizou-se da análise gráfica dos … Show more

“…Two models included SF and age, and one included BC, SF and height, all estimated in a group of 60 subjects and tested in another of 15 subjects. Rech et al 27 also tested the validity of anthropometric equations in agreement with DXA in an elderly population (n = 120 women and 60 men). The models chosen for analysis were based only on height, body mass, and BC.…”

“…Evidências apontam que a estimativa do %GC pode diferir dependendo da escolha da equação para estimar esta variável 26 . No presente estudo, observou-se que as equações testadas, em uma amostra de estudantes de Educação Física, apresentaram erros médios variando de -1,9 a 2,4 pontos percentuais em relação à medida adotada como critério (PH).…”

“…Currently, several methods and equations are used to estimate body composition 26,27,28 ; nevertheless, one of the main difficulties faced by the researchers who conduct studies on aging is to choose a method to evaluate body composition that is a simple, practical and reliable 29 . Anthropometry is still considered a practical and inexpensive method; its limitations, however, lie on the difficulty in choosing the best equation 30 and on the need of a skilled evaluator for the measurement of the SF.…”
