小兒麻痺患者身體型態暨身體組成研究測量

Abstract

Body composition is one of the important indicators for the health. Body composition can be evaluated by bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA). Furthermore, distribution of body fluid can also be quantitated by bio-electrical impedance measurement.Adult disabled people have unique body compositions and body shapes because of their diseases. Data regarding body composition of disabled Taiwanese people is lacking and needed. The aim of this research is to establish a standard of measurement condition for obtaining accurate, precise, rapid and reproducible body composition in adult disabled people. In this study, poliomyelitis patients and healthy people (control group) were recruited for measuring their body bio-electrical impedance, anthropometric profiles and skin fold thickness. In this study, there is significant difference in fluid distribution between hypotrophy and non-hypotrophy limbs of polio patients. Polio patients also have higher body fat percentage than control group. Weight gain is a predictive factor of post-polio syndrome. We used BIA as a predictive tool for poliomyelitis patients.
