Abstract

The aim was to compare the relationship between body composition and body size in two subgroups with different metabolic risk. Body-mass index z-scores (BMIZ), bicipital, tricipital, subscapular and iliac thicknesses were determined in 178 India-originating Guadeloupian (IOG) adolescents and 481 controls of other origins. Various equations were tested in a regression approach to fit the relationship between BMIZ and iliac thickness, and BMIZ and sum of skinfold thickness. A shift towards higher iliac thickness for a given BMIZ was observed in IOG adolescents. This supports the idea that the relationship between BMI and risk for non-communicable diseases is ethnicity-dependent.

摘要

目的在于比较具有不同代谢风险的两个亚组中身体成分和身体大小之间的关系。在 178 名印度起源的瓜德罗普岛（IOG）青少年和 481 名其他来源的对照组中，确定了身体质量指数 z 分数（BMIZ）、二头肌、三头肌、肩胛下和髂厚度。采用回归方法测试了各种方程，以拟合 BMIZ 与髂厚度以及 BMIZ 与皮褶厚度之和之间的关系。在 IOG 青少年中，观察到给定 BMIZ 时髂厚度的增加，这支持了 BMI 与非传染性疾病风险之间的关系取决于种族的观点。
