Resumo: Obesity is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a disease characterized by the excessive accumulation of body fat, being of great importance to develop cut-off points based on anthropometric indicators for the diagnosis of obesity as a preventive measure and intervention in public health. This study aimed at determining the association between anthropometric indicators and body fat percentage in male students of Physical Education course at the Federal University of Amapá. A sample of 22 apparently healthy men (20-29 years) participated in this study. Sampling was performed by clusters, since the volunteers were randomly selected during an anthropometric evaluation for waist circumference, abdomen circumference, hip circumference, waist-hip ratio, body mass index and percentage body fat (%BF) by the skinfold method. The present study showed a good linear correlated and significant (r=0.50-0.75) between the anthropometric and %BF. In conclusion, it resulted significant correlations between all of the anthropometric indicators and %BF when analyzed in volunteers with physical and anthropometric characteristics similar to those of the present study, becoming possible indicators in the prediction of diseases and health promotion.

Sendo assim, o objetivo do presente estudo verificou a relação dos indicadores antropométricos com a gordura corporal relativa em homens estudantes do curso de graduação em Educação Física da Universidade Federal do Amapá. Participaram deste estudo uma amostra de 22 homens (20 a 29 anos) aparentemente saudável. A seleção da amostragem foi feita por conglomerados, pois os voluntários foram selecionados aleatoriamente durante uma avaliação antropométrica para as medida da circunferência da cintura (CC), da circunferência do abdômen (CA), da circunferência do quadril (CQ), a razão cintura e quadril (RCQ) e do índice de massa corporal (IMC) e a gordura corporal relativa (GCR) pelo método por dobras cutâneas. O presente estudo demonstrou uma boa relação linear e significativa (r=0,50-0,75) entre os indicadores antropométricos e a GCR. Em conclusão, foram observadas correlações significantes entre todos os indicadores antropométricos e a GCR quando analisados em voluntários com características físicas e antropométricas similares às do presente estudo, tornando-se possíveis indicadores na predição de doenças e na promoção de saúde. Universidade Federal do AmapáMaterko, WollnerJunior, Paulo Jorge de Abreu da Costa2019-03-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unifap.br/index.php/estacao/article/view/378910.18468/estcien.2019v9n1.p31-37Estação Científica (UNIFAP); v. 9, n. 1 (2019); 31-37Estação Científica (UNIFAP); v. 9, n. 1 (2019); 31-372179-1902reponame:Estação Científica (UNIFAP)instname:Universidade Federal do Amapá (UNIFAP)instacron:UNIFAPporhttps://periodicos.unifap.br/index.php/estacao/article/view/3789/materkov9n1.pdfDireitos autorais 2019 Estação Científica (UNIFAP)http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-10-04T12:51:33Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/3789Revistahttps://periodicos.unifap.br/index.php/estacaoONGhttps://periodicos.unifap.br/index.php/estacao/oai||fernandogentry@hotmail.com2179-19022179-1902opendoar:2019-10-04T12:51:33Estação Científica (UNIFAP) - Universidade Federal do Amapá (UNIFAP)false
