The corporal composition evaluation is extremely important for the individual and population nutritional state diagnosis and for the establishment of appropriate clinical-nutritional conducts. An excess of body fat is frequently associated with important metabolic alterations and chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia The availability of methods to assess body composition is essential to evaluate health status of individuals. There are several methods for the corporal composition analysis, and it is important to know the limitation of each one and his/her validity so that the obtained estimates are reliable and correctly interpreted. The purpose of this study was to revise the applicability of some nutritional state indicators and corporal composition evaluation methods, such as corporal mass index, waist circumference and waist-hip relation, skinfold measurements, bioelectrical impedance analysis and near-infrared interactance.
身体成分评估对于个体和人群营养状况的诊断以及制定适当的临床营养措施极为重要。体内脂肪过多常与重要的代谢改变和慢性疾病相关，如糖尿病、高血压和血脂异常。评估身体成分的方法对于评估个体的健康状况至关重要。有多种身体成分分析方法，了解每种方法的局限性及其有效性很重要，以便获得可靠且能正确解读的估计值。本研究的目的是评估一些营养状况指标和身体成分评估方法的适用性，如体重指数、腰围和腰臀比、皮褶测量、生物电阻抗分析和近红外相互作用。
