Resumen
BRITO, Lígia Zampieri de et al. Assessment of the fat mass index in women recently diagnosed with gynecological tumors. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2022, vol.39, n.2, pp.348-354. Epub 09-Mayo-2022. ISSN 1699-5198. https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.03641.
Objectives:
to evaluate the nutritional status and body composition of women with gynecological tumors and evaluate the fat mass index (FMI) as a complementary indicator for addressing the nutrition status.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study with women recently diagnosed with gynecological tumors. Nutritional status was assessed using conventional anthropometry and the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment. For body composition, bioelectrical impedance was used.
Results:
a total of 158 women participated, most of them with excess weight and high body fat. The FMI showed a positive and significant correlation with body mass index, arm circumference, tricipital skinfold, and arm muscle circumference.
Conclusion:
women recently diagnosed with gynecological tumors had excess weight and high body fat. The FMI may be a potentially useful indicator to complement the assessment of nutritional status and help the multidisciplinary team to perform early clinical and nutritional interventions.
