Abstract

Purpose: This study was planned to evaluate the relationship between pulmonary function and some anthropometric measurements and body composition in healthy young women with different body mass index (BMI).
Materials and Methods: One hundred seventeen (n:117) women, aged between 19-30 years, participated in this study. Some anthropometric measurements of the participants (body weight, height, waist circumference, hip circumference, and neck circumference) and body composition were evaluated by the researchers.
Results: There was no difference in forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and FEV1/FVC values of individuals according to BMI classification. In terms of disease risk according to anthropometric measurements, no difference was found between the groups in the pulmonary function test values (except for the waist circumference). Participants whose waist circumference were 80-88 cm were found to have a significantly higher FEV1/FVC value than participants whose waist circumference were >88 cm. It was determined that there was a positive correlation between body weight, lean body mass, body fat mass, total body water values, and FVC, FEV1 values.
Conclusion: Differences in body composition and anthropometric measurements and pulmonary function assessment may be due to methodological and group-specific changes in the studies. Long-term studies that question the body composition of individuals, food consumption and physical activity levels, will be beneficial.

Sağlıklı genç kadınlarda solunum fonksiyon testleri ile antropometrik ölçümler ve vücut bileşimi ilişkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, farklı beden kütle indeksine (BKİ) sahip genç kadınlarda solunum fonksiyon testleri ile bazı antropometrik ölçümler ve vücut bileşimi arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla planlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya yaşları 19-30 yaş arasında olan 117 kadın dahil edilmiştir. Katılımcıların bazı antropometrik ölçümleri (vücut ağırlığı, boy uzunluğu, bel çevresi, kalça çevresi ve boyun çevresi) ve vücut kompozisyonu araştırmacılar tarafından değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Bireylerin BKİ sınıflamasına göre zorlu vital kapasite (FVC), 1. saniye zorluekspiratuvar volüm (FEV1) ve FEV1/FVC değerlerinde fark yoktur. Solunum fonksiyon testi değerlerinde (bel çevresi hariç) antropometrik ölçümlere göre hastalık riski açısından gruplar arasında fark bulunmamıştır . Bel çevresi 80-88 cm olan bireylerin FEV1/FVC değeri, bel çevresi >88 cm olan bireylere göre anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Vücut ağırlığı, yağsız vücut kütlesi, vücut yağ kütlesi ve toplam vücut suyu değerleri ile FVC, FEV1 değerleri arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir.
Sonuç: Vücut kompozisyonu ve antropometrik ölçümler ile solunum fonksiyon değerlendirmesindeki farklılıklar, çalışmalardaki metodolojik ve gruba özgü değişikliklerden kaynaklı olabilir. Bu nedenle bireylerin vücut bileşimlerinin yanı sıra, besin tüketimi ve fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinin sorgulandığı uzun süreli çalışmaların faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir.
