0111/2024 - COMPOSIÇÃO CORPORAL VERSUS RESULTADOS ANTROPOMÉTRICOS DOS INDÍGENAS KHISÊDJÊ DO XINGU- MT/BRASIL BODY COMPOSITION VERSUS ANTHROPOMETRIC RESULTS OF THE KHISÊDJÊ INDIGENOUS OF XINGU- MT/BRAZIL
Este estudo objetivou avaliar a composição corporal dos indígenas Khisêdjê residentes no Território Indígena do Xingu e compará-la com os resultados obtidos pela antropometria. Foram incluídos 179 indivíduos, com idade ?20 anos. O estado nutricional foi classificado segundo os pontos de corte propostos pela World Health Organization (1995). A composição corporal foi identificada por meio das medidas derivadas diretamente do aparelho de impedância bioelétrica tetrapolar (resistência - R, reactância - Xc e ângulo de fase - AF). Os dados foram analisados por meio do teste t de Student, teste de qui-quadrado, coeficiente de Pearson e análise de variância. 57,0% dos avaliados foram homens e a idade média foi de 37,5 anos. 48,0% apresentaram excesso de peso (índice de massa corpórea - IMC ?25,0 kg/m2). Identificou-se correlação positiva entre o IMC com as medidas do perímetro da cintura e do braço e AF e, correlação inversa com as medidas de R e Xc. As médias das medidas de R e Xc reduziram com o aumento do IMC; em contrapartida as médias do AF aumentaram com o aumento do peso. Os resultados sugerem que a presença de excesso de peso, entre os indígenas Khisêdjê, se associou a maior quantidade de massa muscular.
This study aimed to evaluate the body composition of the Khisêdjê, an indigenous people resident at Xingu Indigenous Territory, and compare it to the results obtained by anthropometry. 179 individuals of both sexes were included. Body mass index (BMI) was classified by recommendations of WHO (1995). The body composition was identified using measures derived directlybioelectrical impedance device (resistance - R, reactance - Xc and phase angle - AF). Data were analyzed using the Student t-test, chi-square, Pearson correlation and analysis of variance. 57,0% of the sample was male. The average age of the population was 37·5 years. 48·0% of subjects had some degree of overweight (BMI ≥25,0 kg/m2). A positive correlation between BMI with circumference measurements of waist (WC) and arm (AC) and AF and an inverse correlation between BMI with measures of R and Xc were found. The average values of R and Xc decreased with BMI increasing; in contrast, the AF average increased with BMI increasing. The overweight found among the Khisêdjê is possibly related to the greatest amount of muscle mass.
