Abstract:

Objective: To evaluate the anthropometric equations developed by ed studies in order to estimate the body composition of neonates. Methods: The systematic review consisted in the research of published articles in the following databases: PubMed, Brazilian Virtual Health Library, Embase and ScienceDirect by utilizing the following descriptors: “fat mass, fat free mass, anthropometry, air displacement plethysmography, validation, neonate”. For doing so, the PRISMA protocol has been utilized. The bibliographical research resulted in 181 articles. However, only eight were ed for the present review because repetition in different databases and having been performed in adults, during pregnancy, in athletes, in preterm and children. Results: There was discrepancy in terms of study method, mainly over the variables of the anthropometric equations, age and ethnicity of the neonates. All studies used the plethysmography method as a reference apartone study. Only four studies had their equations validated. Conclusion: The studies that developed anthropometric models for estimating the body composition of neonates are scarce, and the use of these equations needs to be conducted carefully in order to avoid errors in nutritional diagnosis.
