Abstract
El estudio de la composición corporal (CC) está cobrando una gran importancia para estimar la condición física y nutricional a lo largo de toda la ontogenia. Constituye una práctica fundamental para conocer el estado de salud y bienestar de los individuos, y tiene gran interés en la diagnosis y prevención de la obesidad y otras enfermedades, entre las que destacan las de origen cardiovascular y todas las relacionadas con el síndrome metabólico (SM). Los valores de referencia para adiposidad relativa y otros componentes corporales son escasos en adultos, y los que se han publicado hasta la fecha, se refieren básicamente a población norteamericana. Por otra parte, la mayoría se han desarrollado con metodologías diferentes basadas en la antropometría o la impedancia, utilizando dispositivos que no tienen la precisión de los actuales. En consecuencia, resulta conveniente elaborar un estudio de la composición corporal en adultos españoles, mediante distintos métodos aplicados a la misma muestra, para obtener referencias que tengan utilidad en el ámbito clínico o epidemiológico. El objetivo ha sido obtener valores de referencia de CC para la población española adulta mediante antropometría, impedancia eléctrica (BIA) e interactancia de luz infrarroja (NIR). Comparar los resultados generados por los distintos métodos de exploración de la CC y construir y validar ecuaciones de predicción que permitan estimar de manera fácil y con un bajo coste, el % GC a partir de dimensiones antropométricas sencillas como el peso, la talla y el perímetro de la cintura...
The study of body composition (BC) is gaining great importance to estimate the physical and nutritional condition throughout ontogeny. It is vital to know the health and welfare of individuals, and plays a key role in the diagnosis and prevention of obesity and other diseases, among which are those of cardiovascular origin and all the ones related to metabolic syndrome (MS). The reference values for relative adiposity and other body components are rare in adults, and those that have been published to this date are mainly focused on the North American population. Moreover, most of them have been developed with different methodologies based on anthropometry or impedance using devices that do not have the accuracy of current ones. As a consequence, it is desirable to develop a study of body composition in Spanish adults using different methods applied to the same sample for references that are useful in the clinical or epidemiological field. The aim has been to obtain BC reference values for adult Spanish population by anthropometry, electrical impedance (BIA) and near infrared interactance (NIR) so as to compare the results generated by the different methods of exploration of the body fat (BF%) and build and validate predictive equations to estimate, easily and at low cost, the BF% from simple anthropometric dimensions as weight, height and waist circumference...
