To evaluate the association between elevated body fat percent (BF%) and the prevalence of insulin resistance (IR) in the adult population with body mass index (BMI) in the normal values.
We carry out an analytical cross-sectional study. The participants attended outpatient from 2012 to 2016 in a private clinic in Lima-Peru between 18 and 60 years with a BMI between 19 and 24.9/Kg/m2. We defined elevated BF% if the values were greater than 25% in men and 30% in women and IR with a cut-off point of HOMA-IR based in the 75th percentile. We performed a generalized linear model from family Poisson (crude and adjusted) with robust standard errors to evaluate the association between BF% and the IR. We reported as association measure the prevalence ratio (PR) with their respective 95% confidence intervals (CI).
We included 284 participants, the average age was 33.77 ± 10.86 (SD) years and the percentage of women was 88.1%. The prevalence of elevated BF% was 71.13% and the prevalence of IR was 25%. We found an association between the elevated BF% and IR, PR = 3.17; 95% CI: 1.46-6.91.
Body fat percentage seems to be a good indicator of IR in patients with normal BMI and without endocrine comorbidities. Longitudinal prospective studies are recommended to corroborate our findings.
评估正常体重指数(BMI)的成年人群中,体脂百分比(BF%)升高与胰岛素抵抗(IR)患病率之间的关联。
我们开展了一项分析性横断面研究。研究对象为2012年至2016年期间在秘鲁利马一家私人诊所就诊的18至60岁门诊患者,其BMI在19至24.9/Kg/m²之间。若男性BF%值大于25%,女性大于30%,则定义为BF%升高;以基于第75百分位数的HOMA-IR为切点定义IR。我们采用具有稳健标准误的泊松族广义线性模型(粗模型和校正模型)来评估BF%与IR之间的关联。我们将患病率比(PR)及其各自的95%置信区间(CI)作为关联度量进行报告。
我们纳入了284名参与者,平均年龄为33.77±10.86(标准差)岁,女性占比88.1%。BF%升高患病率为71.13%,IR患病率为25%。我们发现BF%升高与IR之间存在关联,PR = 3.17;95%CI:1.46 - 6.91。
对于BMI正常且无内分泌合并症的患者,体脂百分比似乎是IR的一个良好指标。建议开展纵向前瞻性研究以证实我们的发现。
