Resumo: The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation between body mass index, waist to hip ratio, waist circumference and fat percentage in adults.This is cross-sectional study which was performed in a hospital in the metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte. During 2007, 193 adults from technical and administrative staff aged 20 to 59 years were evaluated. We first measured weight, height, waist, hip and neck circumferences and skin folds and then calculated the body mass index, the waist to hip ratio, the fat percentage and the muscle area of the arm. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS v.12.0 program. Pearson's chi-square test and Fisher exact test were applied considering a 5% significance level. From a total of 193 patients evaluated, 66.3% were female. The mean age was 34.0 ± 8.4 years. The body mass index average was similar in both sexes, corresponding to 26.4 kg /m². The waist to hip ratio and the fat percentage had lower coefficients of magnitude with body mass index (r = 0413 r = 0502, respectively) when compared to the waist circumference (r = 0.88).After comparing the indicators of fat distribution, we noticed that the measure of the waist circumference is the best indicator of excessive weight in both sexes.

Se trata de un estudio transversal realizado en un hospital de la zona metropolitana de Belo Horizonte en 2007 con adultos de 20 a 59 años, personal técnico y administrativo. Se midió peso, talla, circunferencia de cintura, cadera y cuello y pliegues cutáneos. A partir de allí se calculó el índice de masa corporal, cintura-cadera, porcentaje de grasa y área muscular del brazo. El análisis estadístico se realizó con el programa SPSS v.12.0. Se llevaron a cabo las pruebas chi-cuadrado de Pearson y exacta de Fisher con nivel de significación del 5%. El 66,3% (n = 193) de los individuos evaluados eran mujeres, edad promedio de 34,0 ± 8,4 años. El índice promedio de masa corporal fue el mismo para los dos sexos, es decir, 26,4 kg /m². Se constató que en la relación cintura-cadera y en el porcentaje de grasa había un coeficiente de menor magnitud con el índice de masa corporal (r = 0,413 r = 0,502, respectivamente) en comparación con la circunferencia de la cintura (r = 0,88).Comparando los indicadores de distribución de grasa se observa que, para ambos sexos, la circunferencia de la cintura es el mejor indicador del exceso de peso.O objetivo com esta pesquisa foi avaliar a correlação entre o índice de massa corporal, a relação cintura-quadril, a circunferência de cintura e o percentual de gordura em adultos. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, realizado em um hospital da Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte (RMBH), em 2007, com adultos de idade entre 20 e 59 anos, funcionários técnico-administrativos. Foram aferidos peso, altura, circunferência de cintura, quadril, braço e dobras cutâneas. Com base nessas medidas, foram calculados o índice de massa corporal, a relação cintura-quadril, o percentual de gordura e a área muscular do braço. A análise estatística foi feita com base no programa SPSS v.12.0. Foram realizados testes de Qui-quadrado de Pearson e teste exato de Fisher, com o nível de 5% de significância. Dos indivíduos avaliados (n=193), 66,3 % eram do sexo feminino, com média etária de 34,0 ± 8,4 anos. O índice de massa corporal médio encontrado foi igual em ambos os sexos, correspondendo a 26,4 kg/m². Verificou-se que a relação cintura-quadril e o percentual de gordura tiveram coeficientes de menor magnitude com o índice de massa corporal (r=0,413 e r=0,502, respectivamente) quando comparada à circunferência de cintura (r=0,88). Comparando-se os indicadores de distribuição de gordura, percebeu-se que, para ambos os sexos, a circunferência de cintura foi o melhor indicador de excesso de peso.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2009-03-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/plainapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50569REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 13 No. 1 (2009)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 13 Núm. 1 (2009)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; v. 13 n. 1 (2009)2316-93891415-2762reponame:Reme (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50569/42310https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50569/42311Copyright (c) 2009 Reme: Revista Mineira de Enfermageminfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDuarte, Carolina Ribeiro FerreiraBotelho, Lucila PiresMachado, Marcelo SouzaLopes, Aline Cristine SouzaLopes Filho, José DivinoJansen, Ann Kristine2024-01-24T18:22:17Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/50569Revistaremeufmg@gmail.comPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/oairemeufmg@gmail.com2316-93891415-2762opendoar:2024-01-24T18:22:17Reme (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
