Kagawa","doi":"10.34256/ijk2117","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.34256/ijk2117","url":null,"abstract":"Aim: The present study aimed to examine the usefulness of anthropometric parameters for obesity screening in young Japanese females by assessing their associations with indicators of adiposity obtained from a dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Methods: Screening ability of 19 anthropometric parameters was examined using a total of 50 young Japanese females who completed detailed anthropometry and a whole-body DXA scan. Anthropometric parameters were categorized into 1) measured variables, 2) conventional indices, and 3) novel indices and their correlations with body fat variables obtained from DXA were investigated. Using a percentage body fat (%BF) of 30.0% as a cut-off point of obesity, the Area Under the Curve (AUC) was observed from the Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) analysis and cut-off points of anthropometric parameters were determined. Results: While body mass correlated highly with total fat tissue mass in this sample (r = 0.847), body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) correlated most strongly with trunk fat and android fat tissues respectively (r = 0.820 and 0.865). However, all body composition variables were correlated with the sum of eight skinfolds (Sum8SF) if %BF was used (r ranged 0.672 – 0.834). Among anthropometric parameters examined, Ʃ8SF showed highest AUC for %BFTotal, %BFGynoid and %BFIAAT while Ʃ2SF and abdominal circumference (AbC) showed highest AUC for %BFTrunk and %BFAndroid respectively. Conclusion: Directly measured variables and conventional indices showed moderate to strong correlations with results from DXA. However, the sum of skinfolds, particularly Sum8SF, showed stronger correlations and superior screening ability for obesity. Although many novel indices have been utilized to screen obesity and metabolic abnormalities, observed results indicated that these indices may not necessarily better than measured values or conventional indices. Further investigations to confirm proposed cut-off points are warranted.","PeriodicalId":425144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Kinanthropometry","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127692391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

La antropometría es una herramienta que permite estimar la masa muscular (MM) y predecir el estado madurativo (PHV) en adolescentes deportistas. La correlación de éstos indicadores con el test de Salto a Contramovimiento (CMJ) permite conocer que factores condicionan el rendimiento físico a los efectos de establecer estrategias que mejoren la performance deportiva. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar mediante antropometría el estado de maduración, MM y su impacto en el rendimiento físico en deportistas adolescentes de la provincia de San Luis. Metodología: estudio descriptivo, cuantitativo, correlacional de corte transversal. Muestra: n=60 adolescentes deportistas de la ciudad de San Luis, rango etario de 10 a 19 años. El estado madurativo y composición corporal se evaluó antropométricamente mediante el Protocolo ISAK. El rendimiento físico deportivo, se evaluó utilizando el test de niveles de fuerza en miembros inferiores mediante Protocolo de Bosco para el CMJ. Los datos obtenidos fueron analizados con softwares estadísticos SPSS y con un grado de significancia del 95% de exactitud. Para las correlaciones se aplicó test de Chi Cuadrado de Pearson. Resultados: la población adolescente analizada que habían realizado el pico máximo de crecimiento (PHV), mostro que el 61,6% (n=37) tenía un estado madurativo normal. Los adolescentes varones maduradores normales (n=17) y tardíos (n=16) presentaron una media de 26 y 26.5 Kg de MM respectivamente. Las adolescentes maduradoras normales (n=20) presentaron una media de 21 Kg de MM; mientras que las maduradoras tardías (n=6) presentaron una media de 25 Kg de MM. El test de fuerza en miembros inferiores, mostró que el 75% (n=45) de la población analizada tenía un CMJ de nivel bajo.  Conclusión: Los adolescentes varones que ya habían realizado el PHV presentaban mayor Kg de MM alcanzando un nivel más alto de CMJ. Los resultados obtenidos en este estudio permitirían establecer una relación entre la edad de PHV, los kg de MM con la altura del CMJ y el impacto en el rendimiento físico deportivo.","PeriodicalId":425144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Kinanthropometry","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122513217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

El objetivo del presente documento fue generar recursos audiovisuales sobre como realizar mediciones corporales en sujetos con obesidad para complementar el conocimiento de los profesionales de la salud sobre los índices de salud y mediciones corporales más adecuados para aplicar a sujetos con obesidad. Metodología: Estudio descriptivo sobre la generación de material audiovisual basado en mediciones posibles y relevantes para el estudio antropométrico en sujetos con obesidad. Se tomaron fotografías y grabaciones en vídeo de dichas mediciones aplicadas en un voluntario de cada sexo con obesidad. Resultados: El material audiovisual consta de nueve medidas antropométricas entre las que se encuentran cuatro pliegues cutáneos (tríceps, subescapular, submandibular y cresta iliaca), 4 perímetros (brazo relajado, cintura, umbilical y cadera) y un diámetro (antero-posterior del abdomen). Conclusión: Existe controversia acerca del protocolo de medición del perímetro de cintura, abdominal y diámetro sagital del abdomen, en personas con obesidad ya que los puntos anatómicos de referencia varían de unos estudios a otros, creando confusión. Por tanto, el material audiovisual creado es novedoso, útil para la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de las mediciones antropométricas y usable tanto en el ámbito académico como en la práctica clínica diaria.","PeriodicalId":425144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Kinanthropometry","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123906600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: In this research, 308 government employees were recruited as respondents. Body somatotype was determined using the Heath and Carter (1990) method. The risk factors for cardiovascular diseases were determined by measuring fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol (TC), LDL-cholesterol level, HDL cholesterol level and triglycerides level. Results: Majority of the respondents were categorized as endomorphy (84.7%), followed by mesomorphy (11.7%) and ectomorphy (3.6%). Means of fasting blood cholesterol level, triglycerides, HDL and LDL cholesterol among respondents were 5.57 mmol/L, 1.55 mmol/L, 1.25 mmol/L and 3.63 mmol/L, respectively. The fasting blood glucose of respondents was in the normal range (5.02 mmol/L), while cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol were on borderline high. Mean HDL level of respondents were below desirable level. Conclusion: We found that there were significant correlation between ectomorphy components with blood cholesterol, LDL, HDL and blood glucose level; mesomorphy with LDL cholesterol level; and endomorphy with HDL and blood glucose level among respondents (p<0.05). As a conclusion, this study has provided useful insights towards the relationship between somatotype components and risk factors of cardiovascular diseases.","PeriodicalId":425144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Kinanthropometry","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130487053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objetivo. Examinar la relación del porcentaje de grasa por las ecuaciones de Slaughter, la circunferencia de cintura abdominal y el índice cintura/estatura para estimar el grado de riesgo cardio-metabólico de escolares entre 6 y 12 años respecto a su nivel de adiposidad. Metodología. En una muestra de 147 niñas y 156 niños en edades entre los 6 y 12 años, se determinó la correlación de las ecuaciones de Slaughter que utilizan los pliegues de tríceps y pierna medial (GS1) y de tríceps y subescapular (GS2) con la circunferencia de cintura abdominal (CC) y con el índice cintura/estatura (ICE); se identificó la concordancia entre ambas ecuaciones de Slaughter por Bland&Altman (Giavarina, 2015); se analizó la capacidad diagnóstica de las ecuaciones de Slaughter para identificar el riesgo cardio-metabólico (RC-M) por curvas de ROC. Resultados. Se encontraron correlaciones más altas de GS1 y GS2 con CC que con ICE en niñas y niños, pero todas significativas (p<0.001). GS1 y GS2 mostraron buena concordancia, aunque GS1 estimó valores más altos de porcentaje de grasa con una media de las diferencias de 0.5715 (95% IC). La sensibilidad y especificidad para detectar RC-M fueron más altas en GS1 (90.6% y 90.4%, respectivamente) que en GS2. Conclusiones.
