Introduction. Obesity is one of the 21st century major health challenges. Adipose tissue is distributed in different proportions in the human body depending on where it is located in the body. The purpose of the research. This study aims to determine the relationship between body mass index, skeletal muscle, subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue in case of first year students of Partium Christian University from Oradea. Subjects and methods. The research included a sample group of 112 students. The analysis of the body composition was performed using the method of bioelectrical impedance. Results. The registered data reveal that 23% of the subjects were overweight or obese and 15% had a low percentage of skeletal muscle. Conclusions. In case of both genders there is a significant negative correlation between the percentage of skeletal muscle and subcutaneous adipose tissue and a significant negative correlation between the percentage of skeletal muscle and visceral adipose tissue.
REZUMAT. Asocierea dintre indicele de masă corporală, masă musculară, țesutul adipos subcutanat și cel visceral la adulți sănătoși: studiu transversal. Introducere. În secolul XXI obezitatea reprezintă una dintre marile provocări medicale ale lumii. Țesutul adipos este distribuit în diferite proporții în corpul uman în funcție de localizarea sa. Scopul cercetării. Scopul acestui studiu constă în determinarea relației dintre indicele de masă corporală, masa musculară, țesutul adipos subcutanat și cel visceral la studenții din anul I ai Universității Creștine Partium din Oradea. Subiecți și metode. Cercetarea a inclus un eșantion de 112 studenți. Analiza compoziției corporale s-a făcut prin metoda bioimpedanței electrice. Rezultate. Conform datelor înregistrate 23% dintre subiecți au fost supraponderali sau obezi și 15% au avut un procent de mușchi scheletici scăzut. Concluzii. În cazul ambelor genuri există o corelație negativă semnificativă între procentul de mușchi scheletic și țesutul adipos subcutanat și o corelație negativă semnificativă între procentul de mușchi scheletici și țesutul adipos visceral.
Cuvinte-cheie: indicele de masă corporală, masă musculară, țesut adipos subcutanat, țesut adipos visceral.
