Application of body mass index adjusted for fat mass (BMIfat) obtained by bioelectrical impedance in adults.

INTRODUCTION Body mass index (BMI) has been one of the methods most frequently used for diagnose obesity, but it isn't consider body composition. OBJECTIVE This study intends to apply one new adiposity index, the BMI adjusted for fat mass (BMIfat) developed by Mialich et al. (2011), in a adult Brazilian sample. METHODS A cross-sectional study with 501 individuals of both genders (366 women,...

Waist Circumference Adjusted for Body Mass Index and Intra-Abdominal Fat Mass

BACKGROUND The association between waist circumference (WC) and mortality is particularly strong and direct when adjusted for body mass index (BMI). One conceivable explanation for this association is that WC adjusted for BMI is a better predictor of the presumably most harmful intra-abdominal fat mass (IAFM) than WC alone. We studied the prediction of abdominal subcutaneous fat mass (ASFM) and...

Bioelectrical Impedance versus Body Mass Index for Predicting Body Composition Parameters in Sedentary Job Women

Objective: Nowadays the value of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in the estimation of body adiposity both on a clinical basis in the individual and epidemiologically in large populations is of great interest. The current study determine accuracy of BIA compared with body mass index (BMI) measurement for estimating body composition in a group of normal weight employee women with a sedenta...
