Abstract

Objective: The aim of our work is to study the links between anthropometric parameters and body composition obtained by bioelectric impedancemetry in case of obese women of peri- menopausal age.

Method and Materials: 154 obese women were classified according to their degree of obesity according to WHO criteria. The analysis of body composition was performed by impedancemetry. Pearson's (r) and Spearman's (r²) correlations were calculated to check the relationships between age, weight, BMI, as well as total and segmental body fat composition.

Results: 154 women of mean age 40.20 ± 13.13 years, obese, mean BMI 38.66 ± 6.56 Kg/m² participated in our study. Impedance reduced an average total fat mass% (TFM%) of 45.39 ± 5.67%. BMI is strongly correlated with TFM% (r = 0.73; r² = 0.82; p ≥ 0.05). For obesity stages 1-2, weight is correlated with BMI (r-r² > 0.40; p ≤ 0.001). Likewise, a strong correlation exists between weight and TFM in Kg (r² = 0.82; p ≥ 0.05). For a BMI ≥ 35 Kg/m², weight is inversely correlated with age [r² ≥ (-0.36); p ≤ 0.003]. The FM of the trunk (Kg) is correlated with the weight for obesity grade 3 (r = 0.49; p = 0.0002) and whatever the stage of obesity at the BMI (r ≥ 0.32; p ≤ 0.02).

Conclusion: The use of bioelectrical impedancemetry in the diagnostic management of obese people is quite useful. This tool gives us better information on the location and distribution of fatty tissue.
