CORRELATION BETWEEN BODY MASS INDEX, GENDER, AND SKELETAL MUSCLE MASS CUT OFF POINT IN BANDUNG
ABSTRACT: To determine the
average skeletal muscle mass (SMM) value in young adults as a reference
population; to analyze the correlation of gender, and body mass index to the
cut off point; and to determine skeletal muscle mass cut off points of
population in Bandung, Indonesia.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 199 participants, 122
females and 77 males. The sampling technique used was the multistage random
sampling. The participants were those who lived in four major regions in
Bandung, Indonesia: Sukajadi, Cicadas, Buah Batu, and Cibaduyut.
Results: The average appendicular skeletal mass index (ASMI) in females
and males based on body mass index (BMI) were identified. The average ASMI
values for normal BMI in females was 5.982±0.462 kg/m2 while the average ASMI
values normal BMI for males was 7.581±0.744 kg/m2
Conclusions: A correlation between BMI and ASMI that was considered
statistically significant was found in females (0.7712; p<0.05) and a very
significant correlation was seen in males (0.870; p<0.05). The cut off
points were defined by the normal BMI, which were 5.059 for females and 6.093
for males.
