Mesure des plis cutanés et masse adipeuse corporelle: une précision de l'excès de poids dans l'enquÊte épidémiologique?

Abstract

Begriff Adipositas drückt das Vorhandensein einer übermässigen Menge von Fettgeweben im Vergleich zur Körpermasse aus. Die Körperfettmasse kann errechnet werden unter Einbezug des Alters und des Geschlechts anhand der Hautfaltendicke, die an verschiedenen Stellen gemessen wird. Im Rahmen des MONICA-Projekts wurden bei der Untersuchung der Prävalenz der Risikofaktoren für kardiovaskuläre Krankheiten auch die Hautfaltendicke an 4 Stellen (Bizeps, Trizeps, Skapula, Hüftbein) bei 263 Einwohnern von Lausanne (125 Männer, 138 Frauen) gemessen. Bei den Männern in der Altersgruppe 25–34 besteht 21±5% der Körpermasse aus Fett, bei den Frauen liegt dieser Wert bei 29±4%. Das Verhältnis Fett: Körpermasse erhöht sich bis 31±7% bei Männern und bis 41±6% bei Frauen in der Altersgruppe 55–64. Die «robusten Statistiken» erlauben die Körpermasse aufgrund des Körpermassenindexes einfach zu errechnen. Dies erlaubt, die Gültigkeit dieses Indexes zur Schätzung des Fettsuchtgrads in epidemiologischen Untersuchung zu benützen. // By definition, obesity corresponds to the presence of a mass of fatty tissue that is excessive with respect to the body mass. Body fat can be calculated in terms of age and sex by measuring the skinfold thickness in several different places. During the MONICA project, the survey of cardiovascular risk factor prevalence enabled us to measure the thickness of four skinfolds (biceps, triceps, subscapular, suprailiac) in 263 inhabitants of Lausanne (125 men, 138 women). In men aged 25–34, 21+5% of the body mass was composed of fat, in women 29±4%. The proportion of fat increases to 31±7% in men and 41±6% in women aged 55–64. A robust regression allows body fat to be simply expressed in terms of the body mass index. This allows us to confirm the validity of this index for evaluating the degree of obesity during an epidemiological study.
