Resumen

El objetivo de este estudio es investigar la precisión del índice de adiposidad corporal (IAB) como una herramienta conveniente para evaluar el porcentaje de grasa corporal (BF%) en una muestra de adultos con sobrepeso/obesidad utilizando el análisis de impedancia bioeléctrica (BIA). La población del estudio estaba compuesta por 96 voluntarios (60% mujeres, edad media 40,6 ± 7,5 años). Se evaluaron las características antropométricas (índice de masa corporal, altura, relación cintura/altura, circunferencia cadera y cintura), estatus socioeconómico y dieta, y el BF% fue medido por BIA-BF% y por BAIBF%. El coeficiente de correlación de Pearson se utilizó para evaluar la correlación entre el BAI-BF% y el BF% evaluado por el BIA-BF%, al tiempo que se controlaban los factores de confusión potenciales. La concordancia entre el BF% medido por ambos métodos se obtuvo con una prueba t de muestra emparejada, el coeficiente de correlación de la concordancia de Lin y el análisis de la gráfica de Bland-Altman. En general, la correlación entre el BF% obtenido por el BIA-BF% y estimado por el BAI-BF% fue r = 0,885, p < 0,001, después de ajustar los factores de confusión potenciales (edad, estatus socioeconómico y dieta). El coeficiente de correlación de concordancia de Lin fue moderado en ambos sexos. En los hombres, la prueba de t apareada mostró una diferencia de medias significativa en BF% entre los métodos (-5,6 (IC del 95%: -6,4 a -4,8); p < 0,001). En las mujeres, estas diferencias fueron (-3,6 (IC del 95%: -4,7 a -2,5); p < 0,001). En general, el sesgo del BAI-BF% fue de -4,8 ± 3,2 BF%; p < 0,001), lo que indica que el método BAI-BF% subestimó significativamente el BF% en comparación con el método de referencia. En adultos con sobrepeso/obesidad, el BAI presenta un bajo acuerdo con el BF% medido por el BIA-BF%; por lo tanto, concluimos que el BIA-BF% no es preciso en ninguno de los dos sexos cuando los niveles de grasa corporal son bajos o altos. Se necesitan más estudios para confirmar nuestros hallazgos en diferentes grupos étnicos.

The study population was composed of 96 volunteers (60% female, mean age 40.6 ± 7.5 years old). Anthropometric characteristics (body mass index, height, waist-to-height ratio, hip and waist circumference), socioeconomic status, and diet were assessed, and BF% was measured by BIA-BF% and by BAIBF%. Pearson{\textquoteright}s correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the correlation between BAI-BF% and BF% assessed by BIA-BF%, while controlling for potential confounders.

Lin{\textquoteright}s concordance correlation coefficient was moderate in both sexes. In the men, the paired t-test showed a significant mean difference in BF% between the methods (-5.6 (95%CI -6.4 to -4.8); p < 0.001). In the women, these differences were (-3.6 (95%CI -4.7 to -2.5); p < 0.001).

In adults with overweight/obesity, the BAI presents low agreement with BF% measured by BIA-BF%; therefore, we conclude that BIA-BF% is not accurate in either sex when body fat percentage levels are low or high.
