Abstract

Introduction: Body fat distribution has been significantlyassociated as a predictor of cardiovascular disease risk factor.The aim of the study was to verify the applicability of the an-thropometric staturo-weight indices (Body Mass Index BMIand Triponderal Mass Index TMI) to assess body adiposity inyoung Peruvian university students. Material and methods: A descriptive (correlational)study was carried out in young university students. We inves-tigated 210 subjects of both sexes (59 males and 151 females) with an age range of 18 to 25 years from a nationaluniversity in Arequipa. Weight, height and four skinfolds(bicipital, tricipital, subscapular and supra iliac) were evalu-ated. Body mass index (BMI) and triponderal index (TMI)were calculated. Results: The relationships between anthropometric indicesand the sum of 4 skinfolds were significant in both sexes. Inmen, the relationship between the sum of skinfolds with BMIwas R2= 75% and with the TMI was R2= 73%. In females, therelationship between the sum of folds with BMI was R2= 63%and with TMI was R2= 57%. There were significant differencesbetween the three categories (high, medium and low), bothfor BMI and TMI and in both sexes (p<0.05). Conclusion: In both sexes, there was a significant associ-ation between BMI and IMT with the sum of subcutaneousfolds. These findings suggest that both BMI and TMI are use-ful to estimate body adiposity in Peruvian university students.
