Correlates of body fat and waist circumference in children from São Caetano do Sul, Brazil

Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine potential correlates of body fat (BF) and waist circumference (WC) in children. The sample included 328 children (169 boys) aged 9-11 years. BF (%) was measured using a bioelectrical impedance scale. WC measurements were made on exposed skin at the end of...

Ecuaciones para la estimación del agua corporal total por el método de análisis de impedancia bioeléctrica a 50 kHz
Equations for the estimate of total body water by the method of bioelectric impedance at 50 kHz

Medisan; 23 (5), 2019
Introducción: El agua mantiene un rango normal en personas aparentemente sanas, el cual se altera ante la existencia de diversas enfermedades. Objetivo: Conocer cuánto se diferencian los valores de agua corporal total estimados por las ecuaciones de agua corporal total, de Kushner, de Deurenberg y de...

Relação entre composição corporal e dislipidemias em crianças e adolescentes

Resumo Verificou-se a relação entre diferentes índices antropométricos e os lipídios plasmáticos. Os dados foram coletados de 2014 a 2016 em 854 escolares (6-18 anos). Foram aferidas a circunferência da cintura (CC), o percentual de gordura corporal (%G) por bioimpedância, o índice de massa corp...

The usefulness of Tanita TBF-310 for body composition assessment in Judo athletes using a four-compartment molecular model as the reference method

SUMMARY Body composition assessment at the molecular level is relevant for the athletic population and its association with high performance is well recognized. The four-compartment molecular model (4C) is the reference method for fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) estimation. However, its implementat...

Comparison of bioelectrical impedance analysis and air displacement plethysmography

Int. j. morphol; 37 (3), 2019
The measurement of body composition has become an important component in the diagnosis of health, physical conditioning and nutritional status. The aim of this study was to compare two methods of detecting body composition, bioelectrical impedance and air displacement plethysmography for athletes and non...

Medidas abdominais adicionais são uma ferramenta útil para avaliar a composição corporal em mulheres obesas

Arq. gastroenterol; 56 (3), 2019
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: During weight gain, most of the excess adipose tissue accumulates in the trunk. This alters the body shape and makes collection of anthropometric measurements, especially waist circumference (WC), difficult. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the sensitivity and applicability of additional a...

Avaliação da porcentagem de gordura corporal em um indivíduo com amputação transfemoral bilateral por diferentes métodos: estudo de caso

Acta fisiátrica; 26 (2), 2019
A amputação predispõe a um risco de alterações na composição corporal, condição que interfere no equilíbrio no uso da prótese, aumenta o cansaço físico e tem como consequência menor rendimento nas terapias físicas. Nesse sentido, é fundamental eleger o método mais apropriado para avaliar...

Determinación del estado nutricional mediante el ángulo de fase en pacientes en hemodiálisis

Gac. méd. Méx; 155 (3), 2019
Resumen Introducción: La bioimpedancia eléctrica multifrecuencia (BIE) evalúa con precisión la composición corporal. Objetivo: Investigar el estado nutricional y su relación con el índice de masa corporal (IMC) o el ángulo fase obtenido por BIE en pacientes con enfermedad renal terminal (ERT) e...

Evaluation of platelet activity by multiple electrode impedance aggregometry in acute coronary syndromes: pilot study in a Brazilian tertiary-care public hospital

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (2), 2019
There is no definite recommendation for testing platelet aggregation (PA) in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) due to inconclusive evidence on the usefulness of platelet function tests to guide therapy and improve clinical outcomes. The evaluation of PA with multiple electrode impedance platelet aggregometr...
