Abstract

This study sought to compare the means of the fat percentage (BF%) and body mass index (BMI) between three different methods of body composition in teenager with typical developmental (GC) and Down syndrome (GSD). To this end, counted on the sample of 60 teenager (30 GSD and 30 GC), of both sexes, aged between 11 and 14 years. The assessment and comparison of BF% was used electric bioimpedance of quadrupole model, the upper limbs (OMRON®) and lower limbs (TANITA®) and for BMI, the electric bioimpedance of quadrupole model, the TANITA® and anthropometric formula. The results showed difference between the methods used, both the percentage of fat (BF: x2 = 28.78, p = 0.000; GSD: x2 = 10.85, p = 0.004) and for the calculation of BMI (GC: x2 = 7.65, p = 0.22; GSD: x2 = 6.655, p = 0.036), higher than the GSD. Therefore, it is concluded that the tetrapolar bioimpedance remains the best method to measure body fat percentage and BMI there differentiation in the data presented by other measurement models.
