Abstract
El índice masa corporal es uno de los criterios mayormente utilizados para el diagnóstico de la obesidad en la población adulta. Sin embargo, el mismo estima el estado nutricional tomando en consideración el exceso de peso, más no el exceso de grasa corporal. Los métodos más precisos en la práctica clínica serían los más sofisticados y costosos; como la antropometría y la bioimpedancia eléctrica. Por ello, el objetivo general del estudio fue comparar el índice de masa corporal como predictor de obesidad en relación a la bioimpedancia eléctrica en estudiantes adultos jóvenes. Se realizó en 368 estudiantes de ambos sexos que estudian en SENATI Indepedencia, con edades comprendidas entre 18 y 25 años. La investigación se enmarcó en el enfoque cuantitativo, con un tipo de investigación de campo, basado en un diseño no experimental, correlacional y de corte transversal. El análisis de datos se realizó a través del software estadístico SPSS versión 25 y para verificar la relación entre el índice de masa corporal y el porcentaje grasa corporal se empleó el coeficiente de correlación de Spearman. En el cual se encontró una relación lineal estadísticamente significativa, moderada y directamente proporcional, entre el índice de masa corporal y el porcentaje de grasa corporal, en estudiantes adultos jóvenes que estudian en SENATI Independencia. (rs=0.641, p<0.05).
The index corporal mass is one of the criteria mainly used for the diagnosis of the obesity in the adult population. Nevertheless, the same one determines the nutritional condition taking in consideration the overweight, more not the excess of corporal fat. The most accurate methods in the clinical practice would be the most sophisticated and costly; such as anthropometry and electrical bioimpedance. For it, the general aim of the study was compare the index corporal mass as a predictor of obesity in comparison to bioimpedance electrical in young students. It was realized in 368 students of both sexes of SENATI Independencia,seat Independence, with ages understood between 18 and 25 years. The investigation was place in the quantitative approach, based on a not experimental design, correlacional and of transverse court. The analysis of information was realize across the statistical software SPSS version 25 and verification of the index corporal mass to bioimpedance electrical, Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used. In which, was found a statistically significant, moderate and directly proportional linear relationship between the body mass index and the percentage of body fat of electrical bioimpedance. (rs=0.641, p<0.05).
