Resumo: | The purpose of this study was to identify which skinfold thicknesses best predict the Body Mass Index (BMI) of children aged 6 to 10 years. The sample consisted of 188 schoolchildren (99 boys and 89 girls) from the private Education System of the city of Ponta Grossa, PR, Brazil. Anthropometric variables were measured: body mass and height (for computing BMI) and skinfolds (biceps, triceps, subscapular, oblique midaxillary, oblique suprailiac, vertical abdominal and medial calf). The relationships between skinfolds and BMI were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation. Stepwise multiple regression analyses were used to determine the independence and mutual contribution of skinfolds to prediction of BMI, with p <0.05. For boys, the abdominal skinfold (model 1) was the strongest predictor of BMI, explaining 72.3% of the variance, while including the subscapular skinfold (model 2) produced a small increase to 73.7%. For girls, the results indicated that the suprailiac skinfold was responsible for 82% of the variance in BMI (model 1), while the addition of the triceps skinfold (model 2) increased to 85% of variance. A third model, which incorporated the subscapular skinfold (model 3), caused a further increment in explained variance to 86%. The findings of this study indicate a moderate relationship between BMI and abdominal and suprailiac skinfolds, for boys and girls, respectively. It was shown that, for our sample, skinfolds representing central fat distribution were the best predictors of changes in BMI. |

Participaram desta investigação 188 escolares da rede particular de ensino do município de Ponta Grossa, Paraná, sendo 99 meninos e 89 meninas. Foram realizadas avaliações antropométricas da massa corporal (MC, kg) e estatura (EST, cm), para cálculo do Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC, kg.m-2), e dobras cutâneas (DC, mm) do bíceps, tríceps, subescapular, axilar oblíqua, supra-ilíaca oblíqua, abdominal vertical, panturrilha medial. A inter-relação entre as DC e o IMC foi quantificada através da correlação de Pearson. A regressão múltipla Stepwise foi usada para determinar a independência e contribuição coletiva das dobras cutâneas na predição do IMC, sendo p<0,05. Para os meninos, a DC abdominal (modelo 1) foi um forte preditor do IMC, explicando 72,3% da variância, ao passo que a adição da DC subescapular (modelo 2) pouco alterou a variância, passando para 73,7%. Para as meninas, os resultados indicaram que a DC supra-ilíaca foi responsável por 82% da variância no IMC (modelo1), e a adição da DC do tríceps (modelo 2) aumentou a proporção da variância na relação para 85%, sendo que quando incorporada a DC subescapular (modelo 3), a variância aumentou coletivamente para 86%. Os achados do presente estudo apontam para uma relação estreita entre o IMC e as DC abdominal (para meninos) e supra-ilíaca (para meninas), demonstrando que, para nossa amostra, as dobras cutâneas que representam uma distribuição de gordura central foram as melhores preditoras de variações no IMC.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.
