Abstract

Propose : Body composition by bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA) is a very useful method of analysing body composition. BIA is non-invasive, inexpensive, nonhazaedous and reproducible technique. The aim of this study was to determine the level of agreement between body composition measurement by BIA and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA). Methods : Data was examined in 100 children(male 58; female 42), who visited Pusan National Hospital. Weight(kg) and height(cm) were measured, and body compositions were analyzed with fat mass, lean body mass, body fat percent by BIA and DEXA methods. Results : Comparison of the DEXA and BIA methods showed highly statistically significant correlations in measurement of human body composition(fat mass, lean body mass, body fat percent). Conclusion : BIA should be considered as the method of choice in measurement of human body composition, since it's non-invasive, reliable, rapid, nonhazaedous and inexpensive, using portable equipment.

목 적 : 소아 체지방 평가에 있어 여러 가지 방법 중 BIA를 이용한 체성분 분석은 비침습적이고, 경제적이며, 방사선 노출의 위험이 없이 검사가 용이해 반복 시행할 수 있다는 장점이 있는 반면 검사 결과의 정확성에 대해 확인해 볼 필요가 있다. 이에 BIA 및 이중 DEXA에 의한 측정치들을 비교하여 BIA의 타당성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2003년 7월에서 10월까지 4개월 동안 부산대학교병원 소아과 방문하였던 소아 100명(남아 58명, 여아 42명)을 연구대상으로 하여 연구 대상자들에 대하여 각각 신장, 체중, 피부두께를 측정하였으며, BIA 및 DEXA법을 이용하여 체성분(체지방량, 제지방량, 제지방률, 체수분량)을 분석하였다. 결 과 : BIA와 DEXA법을 통한 검사상 FBM, LBM, %BF의 상관관계는 남녀 모두에서 통계학적으로 의미있는 양의 상관관계를 보였으며, 통계학적으로 의미가 있었다(P<0.001). 특히 FBM에서 남녀 모두 상관 계수가 높았다. 결 론 : 소아 비만의 평가에 있어 BIA를 통한 체성분 분석은 장치가 간단하고 특별한 기술을 필요로 하지 않으며, 비침습적이면서 경제적일 뿐 아니라 측정치가 객관적이고 정확한 것으로 분석되었다.
