RATIONALE: Severe obesity limits physically the body composition assessment. AIM: To develop equations of body fat (BF) estimative in severe obesity. METHODS: Severely obese adults had BF estimated by bioelectrical impedance (BIA impedance of 5, 50, 100 and 200kHz) and reference method (air displacement plethysmography - ADP). The limits of agreement and of concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) of the data were evaluated. New predictive equations were developed by multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS: The BF estimations from BIA and ADP were similar for the studied population (64.8 ± 15kg vs 65.6 ± 16.4kg, p>0.05). Both had good accuracy, precision, and CCC, but their comparison had wide limit of agreement with range from -10.4 to 8.8kg. The home BIA equation overestimated BF in women (-1.3 kg, p<0,05) and underestimated BF in men (5.6 kg; p <0.05). BF new predictive equations were generated, for BIA with 50kHz frequency, Horie- Waitzberg & Barbosa-Silva1: BF1 (kg) = 23.25 + (0.13 × age) + (1.00 × current weight) + (0.09 × Resistance 50kHz) (0.80 × height) and for BIA with 100kHz frequency, Horie-Waitzberg & Barbosa-Silva2: BF2 (kg) = 23.97 + (0.10 × Impedance 100kHz) + (0.11 × age) + (0.99 × current weight) - (0.80 × height). CONCLUSIONS: The home equation on BIA was inadequate for estimating BF in severely obese patients. Equations developed especially for this population provides more accurate BF estimative (better limits of agreement accuracy, precision and CCC). (AU) | |
