Abstract

Abstract Study aim: Our study was undertaken to analyze agreement between measured body fat and different indices of fatness in students of both sexes and with different physical activity. Materials and methods: A total of 330 students not engaged in regular physical activity (150 males and 180 females) and 356 students (180 males and 176 females) engaged in regular physical activity due to their study program (5–7 h/week) were recruited. In all participants body adiposity was measured from skinfold thickness. In addition, calculated indices of fatness based on waist (WC) and hip circumference (HC), such as abdominal volume index (AVI), body adiposity index (BAI) and relative fat mass (RFM) were calculated. Results: The analysis of Bland-Altman plots revealed that agreement between measured and calculated body fat was found for RFM and BAI in sedentary and active men and for BAI in sedentary women, but not for measured body fat and RFM in sedentary women and for RFM and BAI in active women. Discussion: Our study showed that in young adult Poles of both sexes and with different physical activity, the calculated obesity rates should be used with caution, especially in women, as an indicator of total body fat.

久坐与运动男女学生体脂测量值与计算值的一致性

摘要:研究目的:本研究旨在分析不同性别、不同运动量的学生体脂测量值与不同肥胖指标之间的一致性。材料与方法:共招募330名不进行定期体育锻炼的学生(男150名，女180名)和356名因学习计划(5-7小时/周)而进行定期体育锻炼的学生(男180名，女176名)。所有参与者的身体肥胖都是通过皮褶厚度来测量的。此外，计算基于腰围(WC)和臀围(HC)的肥胖计算指标，如腹部体积指数(AVI)、体脂指数(BAI)和相对脂肪质量(RFM)。结果:Bland-Altman图分析显示，久坐和运动男性的RFM和BAI以及久坐女性的BAI之间的体脂测量值和计算值一致，但久坐女性的体脂测量值和RFM以及运动女性的RFM和BAI之间不一致。讨论:我们的研究表明，在波兰人的年轻成年男女和不同的体力活动中，计算肥胖率应谨慎使用，特别是在女性中，作为体脂总量的指标。

期刊介绍： The leading idea is the health-directed quality of life. The journal thus covers many biomedical areas related to physical activity, e.g. physiology, biochemistry, biomechanics, anthropology, medical issues associated with physical activities, physical and motor development, psychological and sociological issues associated with physical activities, rehabilitation, health-related sport issues and fitness, etc.
