The use of body circumferences for the prediction of intra-abdominal fat in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome El uso de circunferencias corporales para la predicción de la grasa intra-abdominal en mujeres obesas con el síndrome del ovario poliquístico

Abstract

Introduction: Computerizd tomography (CT) is the gold standard for the evaluation of intra- (IAF) and total (TAF) abdominal fat; however, the high cost of the procedure and exposure to radiation limit its routine use. Objective: To develop equations that utilize anthropometric measures for the estimate of IAF and TAF in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: The weight, height, BMI, and abdominal (AC), waist (WC), chest (CC), and neck (NC) circumferences of thirty obese women with PCOS were measured, and their IAF and TAF were analyzed by CT. Results: The anthropometric variables AC, CC, and NC were chosen for the TAF linear regression model because they were better correlated with the fat deposited in this region. The model proposed for TAF (predicted) was: 4.63725 + 0.01483 x AC - 0.00117 x NC - 0.00177 x CC (R² = 0.78); and the model proposed for IAF was: IAF (predicted) = 1.88541 + 0.01878 x WC + 0.05687 x NC -0.01529 x CC (R²=0.51). AC was the only independent predictor of TAF (p Introducción: La tomografia computarizada (TC) es el estándar de oro para la evaluación de la grasa intra-abdominal (GIA) y abdominal total (GAT), pero los altos costos y la exposición a la radiación limitan su uso rutinario. Objetivo: Desarrollar ecuaciones para la estimación de la GIA y la GAT en mujeres obesas con el sindrome del ovario poliquistico, utilizando medidas antropométricas. Métodos: Se evaluó el peso, la altura, el IMC y las circunferencias abdominal (CA), cintura (CC), pecho (CP) y cuello (Ccu) de 30 mujeres obesas con SOP. La GIA y GAT fueron analizados por la TC. Resultados: El modelo propuesto fue: GAT = 4,63725 + 0,01483 x CA - 0.00117 x CCu - 0,00177 x CP (R² = 0,78); y para la GIA fue: GIA = 1, 88541 + 0, 01878 x CC + 0,05687 x CCu - 0,01529 x CP (R² = 0,51). La CA fue La única variable predictora independiente de la GAT (p < 0,01). Conclusión: Las equaciones propuestas correlacionaronse bien con el valor real, medido a través de la TC, y se puede utilizarlas en la práctica clínica.
