RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Evidence on the diagnostic performance of palpatory methods and possible confounding factors is scarce. OBJECTIVES: To examine the sensitivity of palpatory methods for location of lumbopelvic landmarks and to assess its association with personal characteristics. METHODS: Eighty-three participants (41 men, 55.6 (16.5) years, 25.9 (4.8) kg/m2 [mean (SD)]) were enrolled in this single-blinded study. Fourteen body and softy-tissue landmarks were sequentially palpated from the spinous process of L4 to the ischial tuberosity. CT-scan images were used to assess what landmark was located. RESULTS: Sensitivity for location was in range 22-86% for soft-tissues and 26-69% for bony landmarks. Reduction in sensitivity was observed from the quadratus lumborum to the inferior and lateral angle of the sacrum (86-26% and 75-33%, left and right sides, respectively). Palpations of L4 and L5 spinous processes were systematically more cephalic than other landmarks. Gender was weakly correlated to almost all landmarks (rp⁢b= 0.333 or weaker). Body mass index was weakly correlated to the accurate location of ILAS and quadratus lumborum, great trochanter, PSIS, and piriformis (rp⁢b=-0.307 or weaker). CONCLUSIONS: Systematic and propagation errors were present using sequential palpatory methods. Palpation in men was more sensitive and higher BMI was associated with lower sensitivity for lumbopelvic landmarks.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To correlate abdominal subcutaneous and visceral fat thickness with anthropometric data and metabolic profile in newborns. STUDY DESIGN: A cross-sectional study with 99 newborns was performed at Instituto de Medicina Integral Professor Fernando Figueira, Brazil. Abdominal subcutaneous and visceral thickness were measured by ultrasound. Glucose, insulin, homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides were determined. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated. RESULT: Abdominal subcutaneous fat thickness was positively correlated with birth weight (r=0.31; P<0.001), height (r=0.27; P<0.001) and abdominal circumference (r=0.26; P<0.001), but not with metabolic profile. Abdominal visceral fat thickness was correlated with abdominal circumference (r=0.23; P=0.01), insulin (r=0.21; P=0.04) and HOMA (r=0.24; P=0.02). The results remained the same among males and females. CONCLUSION: Abdominal fat distribution in newborns has a different correlation with anthropometric and metabolic profile. Abdominal subcutaneous fat thickness is positively correlated with anthropometric data whereas abdominal visceral fat thickness is correlated with insulin and HOMA-IR.
