Abstract:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional profile of indigenous Xukuru-Kariri villagers between seven years and seventy eight years old in Minas Gerais in accordance with the different anthropometric indicator body composition. The measurements were: weight, height, waist circumference (WC) and percentage body fat (% BF). We calculated the sensitivity and specificity of anthropometric indices with an interval of 95% and positive predictive value (PPV) and negative (NPV). A total of 58 individuals were evaluated, 56.9% (n =33) male and 43.1% (n =25) female. Specificity was greater than sensitivity to all indices. It was observed that 29% of individuals were classified as having excess body fat as assessed by BMI and bioimpedance hand in hand and 50% of subjects had high body fat in relation to BMI and WC. They need to be studied with different ethnic groups in order to construct indicators for specific nutritional guidance of indigenous health services.
