0474/2018 - Evaluation of anthropometric equations developed to estimate neonates’ body composition: A systematic review. Avaliação de equações antropométricas desenvolvidas para estimar a composição corporal de neonatos: Uma revisão sistemática.
Objetivo: Avaliar as equações antropométricas desenvolvidas pelos estudos selecionados para estimar a composição corporal de neonatos. Métodos: A revisão sistemática consistiu na busca de artigos publicados nas bases de dados PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde, Embase e ScienceDirect utilizando os seguintes descritores: “fat mass, fat free mass, anthropometry, air displacement plethysmography, validation, neonate”. Para isso foi utilizado o protocolo PRISMA. A busca bibliográfica resultou em 181 artigos. Entretanto, apenas oito foram selecionados para compor a presente revisão por estarem presentes em outras bases de dados, por terem sido realizados com adultos, atletas, prematuros e crianças. Resultados: Houve discrepância em relação aos métodos dos estudos, sobretudo no que diz respeito as variáveis que compuseram as equações antropométricas. Com exceção de um artigo, todos utilizaram a pletismografia como método de referência. Apenas quatro estudos tiveram suas equações validadas. Conclusão: Além de serem escassos os estudos que desenvolveram equações antropométricos para estimar a composição corporal de neonatos, o uso desses modelos deve ser realizado com cautela para evitar erros no diagnóstico nutricional dos neonatos.

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.
