Evaluación del estado nutricional por medio de bioimpedancia eléctrica y antropometría en el Club de Diabéticos del Hospital General Enrique Garcés Quito 2013.

Abstract

The study carried aut with diabetic patients of the club Enrique Garces General Hospital in Quito, to determine their nutritional status by anthropometry and alectric bioempedance. The investigation was made with non-experimental cross-sectional design; the universe was composed of 89 patients. The body weight was measured and 4 skinfolds by anthropometry and with impedance the fat mass. Whit JMP and Epidat.bat statistical software, the variables: specificity and sensitivity were analyzed. In of general features, female with a 93.3% and male 6, 7% with the average terms age of 61, 0 years; the nutritional status by anthropometry according to BMI: normal 22,4%; overweight 32,5 %; obese 48,8%, and % of fat mass; the 90,9% has excess. By BIA according to IMC; normal 20,2% averweight 33,7% obese 46.0%; and % of mass fat; 93,2% has excess: the circumferenceof the arm 6,7% deficit; 56,6% average; slight excess 36,9% moderate and severe according to waist circumference the 87,5% has greatly increased metabolic risk. BMI measured by anthropometry and bioimpedance presented a strong direct correlation in de 98, 9% and the correlation in the percent body fat anthropometry and bioimpedance was 95,6%. High sensitivity and specificity of 98,6% and 100% of BMI and high sensitivity and specificity of 97,6% and 100% of the percentage of fat mass was found.
