Non-availability of clearly defined cut-offs for body fat percentage (BF%), as well as a widespread application of surrogate measures for obesity assessment, may result in incorrect prediction of cardio-metabolic risk.Purpose: The study aimed to determine optimal cut-off points for BF%, with a view of predicting the CRFs related to obesity.Patients and Methods: The study involved 4735 (33.6% of men) individuals, the Polish-Norwegian Study (PONS) participants, aged 45– 64. BF% was measured with the aid of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) method. The gender-specific cut-offs of BF% were found with respect to at least one CRF. A P-value approach, and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were pursued for BF% cut-offs, which optimally differentiated normal from the risk groups. The associations between BF% and CRFs were determined by logistic regression models.Results: The cut-offs for BF% were established as 25.8% for men and 37.1% for women. With the exception of dyslipidemia, in men and women whose BF% was above the cut-offs, the odds for developing CRFs ranged 2– 4 times higher than those whose BF% was below the cut-offs.Conclusion: Controlling BF% below the thresholds indicating an increased health hazard may be instrumental in appreciably reducing overall exposure to developing cardio-metabolic risk.Keywords: obesity, body fat percentage, cardiovascular risk factor, cut-off, public healthMacek PBiskup MTerek-Derszniak MStachura MKrol HGozdz SZak MDove Medical Pressarticleobesitybody fat percentagecardiovascular risk factorcut-offpublic healthSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 13, Pp 1587-1597 (2020) |
