| Popis: | OBJECTIVE Obesity is a major and functionally important problem in polio survivors. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of obesity using body mass index and percentage body fat in polio survivors and to analyze the relationship between obesity and mobility. DESIGN Eighty-four polio survivors were included. Anthropometric parameters, knee extensor strength, and the Short Physical Performance Battery were evaluated. A questionnaire was used to explore the late effects of poliomyelitis. Obesity was determined using both body mass index and percentage body fat. RESULTS The prevalence of obesity in polio survivors was 39.3% and 81.5% using the body mass index and percentage body fat criteria, respectively. The Short Physical Performance Battery scores were significantly different between the obese and nonobese groups as determined by percentage body fat (P < 0.05). Only percentage body fat was significantly associated with mobility after controlling for the confounding variables in obese polio survivors (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Obesity in polio survivors was underestimated when the body mass index criteria were used. Percentage body fat was a significantly associated factor for mobility in obese polio survivors. Obesity determined by percentage body fat criteria is useful to address obesity-related problems in polio survivors. |
