dc.description.abstractObjective: To compare two methods for evaluating total body fat and its distribution. Methods: Cross-sectional, cohort-nested study. Sixty-two women received a nutritional status evaluation which included total body fat (BF) obtained through the sum of skinfolds (ΣSF) and bioimpedance (BIA). Visceral fat distribution was measured using ultrasonography (USG) (intra-abdominal fat thickness) (IAT) and waist circumference ( WC). The concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) and the determination coefficient (r 2 ) were calculated. Results: Mean patient age was 48.19 (8.99) years. Thirty-six women (58.06%) had a very large WC and 42 (67.74%) had high body fat. There was moderate concordance (r 2 = 0.42; CCC = 0.59; p < 0.01) between the methods for determining body fat (%) and optimal concordance (r 2 = 0.90; CCC = 0.91; p < 0.01) for body fat (kg) determined by BIA and ΣSF. The comparison between WC and IAT (USG) showed moderate concordance (r 2 = 0.49; p < 0.01) between the methods. Conclusions: Moderate concordance in determining total body fat (%) and optimal concordance in determining body fat (kg) were found between the methods. Moderate concordance was found between the methods for determining body fat distribution.pt_BR
dc.description.resumoThere was a moderate level of agree- ment between the sum of skinfolds and bioimpedance in women with breast cancer and those with benign breast changes, who came from public health services. The level of agreement was also moderate between intra-abdominal thickness identified with ultrasonography and waist circumference. There was a high level of agreement between bioimpedance and body fat as- sessment (Kg). Considering what has been described here and aiming to assess these women’s body composition, it is recommended that waist circumference assessment be includ- ed to evaluate body fat distribution and that the method of sum of skinfolds be used to evaluate percentage body fat (%) and body fat in kilograms (Kg). These should be per- formed until it becomes possible to assess such measurements with more precise and accurate methods (USG and BIA), as these are simple, low-cost, practical and reliable methods that can be used to implement the nutritional care protocol in the outpatient clinics analyzed.pt_BR
