Is Physical Disability a Barrier to Detecting Body Composition?

Öz

It is estimated that more than one billion people worldwide have a disability. This number corresponds to 15% of the world's population, and the number of people with disabilities is gradually increasing due to chronic diseases and the aging of the population. Individuals who are born with a disability or who later become disabled often face significant nutritional problems. The use of anthropometric methods in the evaluation of nutrition is important in determining body composition. On the other hand, determining the body composition according to the type of disability presents various difficulties. For this reason, reliable criteria are needed to determine the body composition for the evaluation of nutrition in individuals with disabilities. This review aims to highlight the gaps in the literature by discussing the anthropometric measurements used in determining body composition in some disability situations such as amputation, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, and turner syndrome with existing references, and to present a Turkish resource to dietitians and clinicians.

Fiziksel Engellilik Vücut Bileşimini Saptamada Engel mi?

Öz

Dünyada bir milyardan fazla insanın engeli olduğu tahmin edilmektedir. Bu sayı dünya nüfusunun %15’ine karşılık gelmekte olup kronik hastalıklar ve nüfusun yaşlanması nedeniyle engelli kişilerin sayısı giderek artmaktadır. Engelli olarak doğan veya sonradan engelli olan bireyler genellikle beslenmeyle ilgili önemli sorunlarla karşı karşıya kalmaktadır. Diğer taraftan, engelin türüne göre vücut bileşiminin saptanması çeşitli zorluklar barındırmaktadır. Bu nedenle engelli bireylerde beslenme durumunun saptanması için vücut bileşiminin belirlenmesinde güvenilir ölçütlere ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu derleme, bazı engellilik durumlarında (ampütasyon, serebral palsi, Down sendromu ve Turner sendromu) vücut bileşiminin belirlenmesinde kullanılan antropometrik ölçümleri mevcut referanslar ile tartışarak alana katkı sağlamayı, diyetisyen ve klinisyenlere bir kaynak sunmayı amaçlamaktadır.
