Analysis of the profile of the corporal and dermatoglyphic composition of morbid obese women

A obesidade é atualmente um dos principais problemas de saúde pública no Brasil e no mundo que gera várias outras comorbidades. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a composição corporal e as características dermatoglíficas de obesas mórbidas com o intuito de uma melhor orientação, prescrição e acompanhamento do treinamento físico. A amostra foi composta por 23 mulheres com valores médios com idade de 34,8 ± 3,6; massa corporal total de 118,6 ± 18,9 kg; estatura de 1,58 ± 0,06 metros e IMC de 47 ± 4,27 kg/m2. Os resultados do IMC = 47% classificaram as pacientes como obesas e a análise por segmentos, apresentaram aumento da gordura na parte central 48,2%, diminuição da massa livre de gordura 47,7% e água corporal total 41,7%. Concluiu-se, com os resultados deste estudo que, a partir do conhecimento da composição corporal é possível prescrever e acompanhar um treinamento físico através de dados dermatoglíficos. ABSTRACT Analysis of the profile of the corporal and dermatoglyphic composition of morbid obese womenObesity is currently one of the main public health problems in Brazil and in the world that’s generates several other comorbidities.

The results of BMI = 47% classified the patients as obese and the analysis by segments, showed a fat increase in the central part 48,2%, decrease in fat free mass, and total body water 41,7%.
