Zusammenfassung: | Abstract The purpose of this present study was to develop and validate a prediction equation for body composition assessment using anthropometric measures of elderly women. This is cross-sectional correlational study with 243 older women ± 64.5 years old and body mass index (BMI) ± 28.70 kg/m². For the development of the equation it was utilized the method of hold-out sample validation. The participants were randomly divided into equation development group (96 elderly women) and a group for validation (147 elderly women). Total body mass, height, waist and hip circumferences, ratio waist-hip ratio and BMI were measured. The whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) assessed body composition (percentage of body fat, fat mass, and fat-free mass). The equations were developed using multiple linear regression, with validation by the stepwise method; the comparison of the equations was analyzed by the paired Student's t test and the analysis of residual scores by the method of Blant and Altman. The New Equation presents a strong correlation (R = 0.83) and (R² = 0.69), and a standard error of estimation equals to 3.21% for percentage body fat prediction. The mean difference between the estimations of percentage body fat from DXA and the New Equation was 0.11% (t(0,180); P = 0.850). Therefore, the New Equation had an accuracy of 93.5% and a total error of 1.8%. The body fat estimation in older women using this New Equation based on BMI and age is valid and accurate.
Resumo O objetivo do presente estudo foi desenvolver e validar uma equação de predição para avaliação da composição corporal utilizando-se medidas antropométricas de idosas. Este é um estudo transversal e correlacional com 243 idosas ± 64.5 anos de idade e índice de massa corporal (IMC) ± 28.70 kg/m². Para o desenvolvimento da equação utilizou-se o método de validação hold-out. As participantes foram divididas aleatoriamente em um grupo para desenvolvimento da equação (96 idosas) e um grupo para validação da equação (147 idosas). Massa corporal total, estatura, circunferências da cintura e quadril, relação cintura-quadril e IMC foram mensurados. A absorciometria por raios-X com dupla energia (DXA) para todo corpo foi utilizada para avaliação da composição corporal (percentual de gordura, massa gorda e massa livre de gordura). As equações foram desenvolvidas utilizando a regressão linear múltipla, com validação pelo método stepwise; a comparação das equações foi realizada pelo Teste T para amos |
