Abstract:
INTRODUCTION:weight and height measurements are important data for the nutritional assessment of elderly people and the implementation of the nutritional care process. Malnutrition is common in this population, who has high rates of disability that difficult to measurement this variables. OBJECTIVE:evaluate the validity of predictive equations for weight and height that include body circumferences created for brazilian population, in mexican elderly people. METHODS:this is a comparative, observational, prospective and cross-sectional study, 61 elderly were evaluated. Body weight, height, half span, calf, arm and abdominal circumferences were determinated. Weight and height were estimated with de predictive equations published by Rabito et al. Bland-Altman analysis and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient were used to assess the levels of agreement between the estimated and the measured values. The level of statistical significance was p < 0.05. RESULTS:the age mean was 78.7 ± 8.7 and 55.7% were females. The weight mean was 61.9 ± 14.1 kg, height mean was 155.4 ± 9.5 cm and Body Mass Index (BMI) mean corresponded to 25.5 ± 5.1 kg/m. The Bland-Altman plots indicated that the 95% confidence interval (95% IC) limits for the difference between real and estimated weight ranged from -14.3 kg to 8.1 kg, the mean of the difference or systematic error (SE) was -3.1 kg, we observed an statistically significant coefficient of 0.12 (p < 0.03). The 95% IC limits for the difference between real and estimated height ranged from -11.1 to 15.9 cm, the diffe rence mean or SE of 2.4 cm, we observed a coefficient of -0.04 (p = 0.67) . Intraclass Correlation Coefficient of 0.72 (p < 0.00) and 0.88 (p < 0.00) were obtained for weight and height, respectively. CONCLUSION:the equations developed by Rabito showed a good agreement when compared with the actual weight and height of elderly people. We observed variations in the estimated weight in obesity elderlys. :Introducción: el conocimiento del peso y la talla es fundamental en la evaluación del estado nutricional en el adulto mayor, permitiendo la implementación del proceso de cuidado nutricional. La desnutrición es común en este grupo poblacional, el cual usualmente presenta diversas situaciones clínicas que dificultan la medición de peso y talla. Objetivos: evaluar la validez de las ecuaciones para estimar peso y talla basadas en circunferencias corporales propuestas para población brasileña en adultos mayores mexicanos. Métodos: estudio comparativo, observacional, prospectivo y transversal en 61 adultos mayores. Las medidas antropométricas recolectadas fueron peso y talla, Extensión de Media Brazada (EMB), Circunferencia Abdominal (CA), Circunferencia Media de Brazo (CMB) y Circunferencia de Pantorrilla (CP). Se estimó el peso y la talla con las ecuaciones propuestas por Rabito y cols. Se utilizó el método Bland-Altman y el Coeficiente de Correlación Intraclase para evaluar la concordancia entre los valores reales y estimados. Se consideró significancia estadística un valor de p < 0,05. Resultados: la edad promedio de los participantes fue de 78,7 ± 8,7 años. El 55,7% (n = 34) fueron mujeres. La media para el peso fue de 61,9 ± 14,1 kg, para la talla de 155,4 ± 9,5 cm y para el Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) fue de 25,5 ± 5,1 kg/m2. Mediante el método Bland-Altman los límites de intervalo de concordancia de 95% para la diferencia del peso real y el estimado fueron de -14,3 a 8,1 kg, con una media de la diferencia o error sistemático (ES) de -3,1 cm; se observó un coeficiente de 0,12 que fue estadísticamente significativo (p = 0,03). Para la talla se observa un intervalo de confianza de la diferencia entre la talla real y estimada de -11,1 a 15,9, con una media de la diferencia o ES de 2,4 cm y un coeficiente de -0,04 que no fue significativo (p = 0,67). La concordancia entre el peso real y el estimado, según el coeficiente de correlación intraclase, fue de 0,72 (p < 0,00), en el caso de la talla real, y la estimada fue de 0,88 (p < 0,00). Conclusiones: las ecuaciones propuestas por Rabito muestran una buena concordancia con los valores de peso y talla reales en adultos mayores, observando mayor variación para los valores de peso estimado en población con obesidad.
