Relação entre duas equações do índice de massa corporal em mulheres / Relationship between two equations of the body mass index in women

Objetivo: Relacionar duas equações do método antropométrico do Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) proposto por Quételet e Trefethen em mulheres. Métodos: A amostra foi constituída por 222 mulheres do município de Canoinhas/SC, com idades entre 18 e 49 anos. Para as medidas antropométricas foi avaliada a massa corporal e a estatura. Por meio dos dados obtidos foi calculado o IMC utilizando às fórmulas: Quételet= (kg/m2) e Trefethen= (1,3*kg/m2,5). Na análise dos dados realizou-se a estatística descritiva, o fator de correlação de Pearson (r) foi realizado para verificar a relação entre os métodos e o teste de Bland-Altman foi utilizado para verificar a concordância entre as equações. Foi adotado um nível de significância de p<0,05. Resultados: Foi encontrada uma relação muito forte e significante (r= 0,98; p= <0,001) com intervalo de confiança (IC 95% = 0,93-0,99) e concordância entre as equações do IMC. Conclusão: A equação do IMC de Trefethen apresentou associação muito forte e significante com a equação IMC de Quételet em mulheres.AbstractObjective: To relate two equations of the anthropometric method of the Body Mass Index (BMI) proposed by Quételet and Trefethen in women. Methods: The sample consisted of 222 women from the municipality of Canoinhas/SC, aged between 18 and 49 years. For the anthropometric measures body mass and height were evaluated. By means of the data obtained, the BMI was calculated using the formulas: Quételet= (kg/m2) and Trefethen= (1,3*kg/m2,5). In the data analysis, descriptive statistics were performed, the Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was performed to verify the relationship between the methods and the Bland-Altman test was used to verify the concordance between the equations.

AbstrakObesitas dapat dialami oleh semua golongan usia, maupun jenis kelamin. Kemajuan teknologi memberikan dampat positif dan negatif. Dampak positifnya banyak kegiatan menjadi lebih praktis dan cepat, sedangkan dampak negatifnya manusia menjadi semakin malas untuk bergerak. Berkurangnya aktivitas fisik mangakibatkan penyimpanan energi yang tersimpan dalam jaringan lemak, yang menyebabkan kegemukan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis hubungan antara aktivitas fisik dengan obesitas di Puskesmas Tegalrejo Kota Salatiga Jawa Tengah. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan yaitu penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif. Responden adalah pasien aktif di Posyandu Puskesmas Tegalrejo. Jumlah responden sebanyak 59 orang. Data yang diperoleh dalam penelitian ini adalah data primer dan data sekunder. Berdasarkan uji korelasi Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) terhadap nilai aktivitas fisik dengan analisis uji Pearson diperoleh p-value 0,000 < 0,05 dan nilai koefisien korelasi r pearson -0,505 yang ini menunjukkan bahwa adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) dengan aktivitas fisik pada pasien aktif di Posyandu Puskesmas Tegalrejo, Kota Salatiga. Sedangkan nilai koefisien korelasi r pearson berkorelasi sedang, dan ditunjukkan dengan tanda negatif (-) yang berarti hubungan yang terjadi bersifat berlawanan arah. Sehingga semakin rendah aktifitas fisik maka semakin tinggi nilai IMT atau sebaliknya.Kata Kunci: aktivitas fisik, obesitas. AbstractObesity can be suffered by all age groups, as well as gender. Technological advances provide positive and negative effects. The positive impact of many activities becomes more practical and fast, while the negative impact of humans becomes increasingly lazy to move. Reduced physical activity results in the storage of energy stored in fat tissue, which causes obesity. The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the relationship between physical activity and obesity at the Tegalrejo Health Center in Salatiga City, Central Java. This type of research is quantitative descriptive research. Respondents were active patients at the Tegalrejo Health Center Posyandu. The number of respondents was 59 people. The data obtained in this study are primary data and secondary data. Based on the correlation test of Body Mass Index (BMI) to the value of physical activity with Pearson test analysis obtained p-value of 0.000 <0.05 and Pearson correlation coefficient value of -0.505 which indicates that there is a significant relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and Physical activity in active patients at the Tegalrejo Health Center Posyandu, Salatiga City. While the value of the Pearson correlation coefficient is moderately correlated, and is indicated by a negative sign (-) which means that the relationship is in the opposite direction. So the lower the physical activity, the higher the BMI value or vice versa.Keywords: obesity, physical activity.

Coronary Slow Flow

Introduction: Evidence indicates that the associations between coronary slow flow (CSF), cystatin C (Cys C), and body mass index (BMI) are unclear. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to determine the association among the above-mentioned parameters in female patients. Methods: This was a descriptive-analytical study and the participants were those who were referred to the Shohada Cardiovascular Center of Urmia in 2015-2016. The participants were measured by a quantitative method under angiography (corrected TIMI frame count, CTFC) for CSF assessment, followed by evaluating physiological indices and the serum Cys C by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Finally, Pearson correlation coefficient test was used to analyze the correlations among CTFC, Cys C, and BMI, and a significance level of P < 0.05 was used for this test. Results: Sixty-six female patients (mean age: 57.01±8.25 years) took part in this study. The correlations among Cys C with CTFC, and BMI (r=-0.189, P=0.128 and r=0.044, P=0.724, respectively) and BMI with CTFC (r=-0.178, P=0.153) were not meaningful in female patients’ who were candidates for angiography. Conclusion: In general, the results suggested that serum Cys C cannot be considered as a predictive biomarker for the prognostic stratification of CSF and BMI in female patients aged 34-73 years who were candidates for angiography.

Women in postmenopausal period of their life face various physical and physiological changes causing lack of estrogen and progesterone hormones, changes in the reproductive and genitals organs, vasomotor system in the body along with mood related symptoms such as anxiety, etc. Lifestyle, body fat distribution and anthropometric changes adds on to the bone strength in postmenopausal women. It may be a risk factor for osteoporotic fracture, cardiovascular, metabolic diseases, etc. Core strength and stability is greatly influenced by body composition and adiposity. The aim of the study was to correlate the core strength assessed with the Body Mass Index (BMI) among postmenopausal women. The objective of the study is to find the correlation between the core strength assessed with the Body Mass Index using 60° flexion test, Beiring Sorenson test and Unilateral Hip Bridge Endurance test among postmenopausal women with age ranging from 46-70 years. 96 healthy postmenopausal women in Karad city with a natural history of menopause were selected for the study. Based upon BMI values, the subjects were grouped as Underweight (<18.5 kg/m2), Normal weight (18.5-24.9 kg/m2), Overweight (25-29.9 kg/m2 and more). The outcome values for strength were correlated with the BMI of postmenopausal women. In the study, the Pearson correlation(r) was -0.361 and the P value was 0.0003 showing extremely significant correlation between the BMI and 60° Flexion test. For the Beiring Sorenson Test, the Pearson correlation value was -0.305 and the P value was 0.0025 showing very significant correlation between the BMI and Beiring Sorenson Test. Correlation of BMI and Unilateral Hip Bridge Endurance Test shows a Pearson Correlation value of -0.322 and the P value 0.0013 claiming very significant correlation between the BMI and Unilateral Hip Bridge Endurance Test. The study concludes that there is a significantly negative correlation between the core strength and stability with the Body Mass Index among postmenopausal women.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the association between violence in childhood and increase in the Body Mass Index among adolescents. Method: a cross-sectional study, conducted with 136 adolescents aged from 10 to 19 years old, monitored by a Multiprofessional Residency Program in Adolescents' Health, in health units from the municipality of Divinópolis-MG. The anthropometric assessment was conducted from March to June 2018; and information was collected referring to the socioeconomic level, demographic factors, food consumption, and physical activity of the participants. The variable related to violence in childhood was composed of five groups, obtained from a factorial analysis. Multiple regression models were used to identify the variables associated with the increase in Body Mass Index, with a significance level of 5%. Results: the prevalence of excess weight was 31.8%. The adolescents participating in the study consumed soft drinks (66.2%) and industrialized food products (66.9%) every week and ate in front of the TV every day (54.4%). The most prevalent type of abuse was emotional neglect, which affected 100% of the sample under study. An association was evidenced of physical neglect in childhood and intake of industrialized food products with the increase in the Body Mass Index z-score. Conclusion: violence in childhood and the consumption of industrialized food products were associated to the increase in Body Mass Index among adolescents. Investments in public policies for comprehensive promotion of health and protection of children and adolescents are imperious.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Increasing obesity is starting to occur among Brazilians. The aim of this study was to investigate the weight and length of children under two years of age in relation to sociodemographic variables and according to whether they were breastfed. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional randomized study conducted in 2004-2005, based on the declaration of live births (SINASC) in Campinas, Brazil. METHODS: 2,857 mothers of newborns were interviewed and answered a questionnaire seeking socioeconomic and breastfeeding information. The newborns' weights and lengths were measured at the end of the interviews and the body mass index was calculated. Percentiles (< 15 and > 85) and Z-scores (< -1 and > +1) were used for classification based on the new growth charts recommended by WHO (2006). The log-rank test, multiple linear regression and binomial test (Z) were used. The statistical significance level used was 5%. RESULTS: The predominant social level was class C. The median for exclusive breastfeeding was 90 days; 61.25% of the children were between P15 and P85 for body mass index and 61.12% for length, respectively. Children whose mothers studied for nine to eleven years and children whose mothers were unemployed presented lower weight. Children whose mothers worked in health-related professions presented lower length when correlated with breastfeeding. CONCLUSION: The breastfeeding, maternal schooling and maternal occupation levels had an influence on nutrition status and indicated that obesity is occurring in early childhood among the infants living in the municipality.
