Abstract :

Objective: To assess suprailiac ultrasonography, mid upper arm circumference and arm/height ratio in diagnosis of child obesity. Patients and methods: The study included 50 obese children and 50 healthy controls with age and sex matched. All patients and control were subjected to history tacking, dietary evaluation, general examination. Anthropometric measurement was done in the form of weight, height, waist, hip, mid arm circumference and Suprailiac skin fold thickness. Calculations of body mass index (BMI), waist/hip ratio, waist/height ratio, mid arm, arm/height ratio were done. Abdominal ultrasound was performed for measurement of subcutaneous suprailiac adipose tissue. Result: BMI, waist/height ratio, arm/height ratio, ultrasound and skin fold thickness measurements of supra iliac fat thickness was significantly higher in obese patients. Ultrasound suprailiac fat thickness had a significant positive correlation with BMI, waist/ height ratio, arm/ height ratio, suprailiac skin fold thickness. ROC curve of suprailiac skin fold thickness was found 99.2% at the cut-off point of > 4.2 (cm) with sensitivity of 96% and specificity of 98% while the AUC of ultrasound suprailiac fat thickness was found 96.6% at the cut-off point of > 3.4 with sensitivity 94% and specificity 100% with no statistically significant difference between the two methods of measures. Conclusion: Midarm circumference and arm/height ratio, suprailiac fat thickness are accurate measurements of obese children. No statistical differences of ultrasonographic measurements of suprailiac fat sickness and suprailiac skin fold thickness in measuring supra iliac fat thickness. Recent Publications 1.
