PARAMETERS OF BIOIMPEDANSOMETRY IN SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN WITH BRONCHIAL ASTHMA AND OBESITY

Abstract

Objective. To identify the features of the indicators of the component composition of the body using bioimpedance measurement in children with bronchial asthma and obesity. Methods. 58 children aged 7 to 14 years with I and II degrees of obesity were examined, including 30 children with bronchial asthma and obesity (group 1), 28 children with obesity, but without bronchial asthma (group 2). The determination of SDS BMI, bioimpedance parameters was carried out on the ABC-01 “Medass” device. Results. According to the results of the study, children with bronchial asthma and obesity have higher indicators of body fat mass and percentage of body fat mass, lower indicators of the proportion of active cell mass and phase angle. In children of the 1 and 2 groups, a positive correlation was found between SDS BMI and body fat mass indicators and a negative correlation between SDS BMI and the proportion and percent of the proportion of musculoskeletal mass at the maximum values of the correlation coefficients in children of the 1st group. At the same time, in children with bronchial asthma, a negative correlation was also revealed between SDS BMI and the percent share of active cell mass, specific basal metabolism. Conclusion. According to bioimpedance data, children with bronchial asthma and obesity have higher indicators of body fat mass and the identified features indicate a lower metabolic rate and a decrease in the activity of metabolic processes.
