Resumo: The purpose of the present study was to measure body composition in a probability sample of adults (≥ 20 years) living in Niterói, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and to assess the adequacy of the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended body mass index (BMI) cut-offs values for identifying obesity in this population. Anthropometric measures and percentage body fat (%BF) assessments were taken with 550 fasted individuals (352 women). Obesity was classified according to the WHO recommended BMI cut-off values. %BF predictive equations were developed based on the inverse of BMI. BMI and %BF mean values (standard error) were: 25.3kg/m² (0.3) and 38% (0.4) for women and 25.1kg/m² (0.3) and 22.1% (0.6) for men. The predicted %BF values (regression of %BF on the inverse of BMI) for each BMI cut-offs of 18.5, 25 and 30kg/m² were: 26.3%, 38.6% and 44.5% for women and 5.6%, 23.2% and 31.5% for men, respectively. The BMI values for the %BF-estimated obesity cut-off values were 20.5 for men and 25.7kg/m² for women. Based on the BMI-%BF relationship, the BMI cut-off values recommended by the WHO are not adequate in identifying obesity in adults from this population.

Las medidas antropométricas y de porcentaje de grasa corporal (%GC) por impedancia bioeléctrica se obtuvieron de 550 (352 mujeres) adultos en ayunas. La obesidad fue diagnosticada según los puntos de corte de IMC de la OMS. Se desarrollaron ecuaciones de predicción para %GC en función del inverso del IMC. Los valores medios (error patrón) de IMC y %GC fueron: 25,3kg/m² (0,3) y 38% (0,4) para mujeres y 25,1kg/m² (0,3) y 22,1% (0,6) para los hombres. Los valores previstos de %GC para IMC de 18,5, 25 y 30kg/m² fueron: 26,3%, 38,6% y 44,5% para las mujeres y 5,6%, 23,2% y 31,5% para los hombres, respectivamente. Los valores de IMC en los puntos de corte para obesidad basados en el %GC fueron 20,5 (hombres) y 25,7kg/m² (mujeres). Basado en la relación IMC-%GC, los puntos de corte de IMC - propuestos por la OMS - no son adecuados para identificar obesidad en adultos de Niterói.O presente estudo mediu a composição corporal em uma amostra probabilística de adultos (≥ 20 anos) de Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, e avaliou a adequação dos pontos de corte do índice de massa corporal (IMC) da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) para obesidade nessa população. Medidas antropométricas e de percentual de gordura corporal (%GC) por impedância bioelétrica foram obtidas em 550 (352 mulheres) adultos em jejum. A obesidade foi diagnosticada segundo os pontos de corte de IMC da OMS. Equações de predição para %GC em função do inverso do IMC foram desenvolvidas. Os valores médios (erro padrão) de IMC e %GC foram: 25,3kg/m² (0,3) e 38% (0,4) para mulheres e 25,1kg/m² (0,3) e 22,1% (0,6) para os homens. Os valores preditos de %GC para IMC de 18,5, 25 e 30kg/m² foram: 26,3%, 38,6% e 44,5% para as mulheres e 5,6%, 23,2% e 31,5% para os homens, respectivamente. Os valores de IMC para os pontos de corte para a obesidade baseados no %GC foram 20,5 (homens) e 25,7kg/m² (mulheres). Baseado na relação IMC-%GC, os pontos de corte de IMC propostos pela OMS não são adequados para identificar obesidade em adultos de Niterói.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2013-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5132Reports in Public Health; Vol. 29 No. 1 (2013): JanuaryCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 29 n. 1 (2013): Janeiro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5132/10511https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5132/10512Anjos, Luiz Antonio dosTeixeira, Fabiana da CostaWahrlich, VivianVasconcellos, Mauricio Teixeira Leite deGoing, Scott B.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:28:33Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/5132Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:05:54.951609Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
