- GRASA CORPORAL E ÍNDICE ADIPOSO-MUSCULAR ESTIMADOS MEDIANTE IMPEDANCIOMETRÍA EN LA EVALUACIÓN NUTRICIONAL DE MUJERES DE 35 A 55 AÑOS Vicente Martín Moreno Juan Benito Gómez Gandoy Agustín Gómez de la Cámara María Jesús Antoranz González Salud to Fat fat Women Fat body Body Fat and Fat Mass-Fat Free MassRatio Estimated by BioelectricalImpedance in the Nutritional Evaluationof Women Aged 35 to 55 YearsBackground: Nutritional evaluation during pre-menopauseand menopause plays an important role in assessing thechanges taking place in a woman?s body, a comparison beingdrawn in this study between the parameters body fat and bodyfat-muscle ratio (BFMR) estimated by impedancemetry and thebody mass index (BMI) for defining nutritional status and bodycomposition.Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study. By randomsampling (health card basis), thirty women within the 35-55age range were selected and then evaluated regarding the relationshipbetween body fat and fat mass (FM)-fat free mass(FFM) ratio (FM/FFM =BFMR) and the BMI, different meansof estimating body fat distribution: waist and iliac region circumferences,waist-hip and iliac region-hip ratios and iliac regionand sagittal diameters; systolic (SBP) and diastolic bloodpressures (DBP) and serum levels of glucose, cholesterol,HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides.Results: The percentage of body fat was highly correlated(p < 0.001) with BMI (r=0.919), waist (r=0.866) and iliac region(r=0.841) circumferences and sagittal (r=0.783) and iliacregion (r=0.772) diameters, and less highly with glycemia(r=0.385; p=0.036) and the SBP (r=0.497; p=0.005) and DBP(r=0.582; p=0.001). The BFMR showed similar results, nobeing significantly related to any biochemical parameter.46.7% of the obese women as per their percentage of body fat(> 33%) had a BMI of under 30.Conclusions: The estimating of the body fat and BFMR parametersamong women within the 35-55 age range supplementsthe nutritional evaluation made by means of the BMI,although in order to define their true figures in this evaluation,the reference values must for the population as a whole must bedetermined. 2002 artículo científico 1135-5727 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=17000608 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=170 Revista Española de Salud Pública application/pdf Ministerio de Sanidad Revista Española de Salud Pública (España) Num.6 Vol.76
