COMPARISON OF SKELETAL MUSCLE MASS BETWEEN PHYSIOTHERAPY STUDENTS WITH MASKED OBESITY AND NORMAL
Abstract
A Comparison between Undergraduate Physiotherapy Students with Masked Obesity and Normal in Skeletal Muscle Mass. Masked obesity is defined as high body fat percentage with normal body mass index. High body fat may affect loss of skeletal muscle mass. The aim of this study was to compare skeletal muscle mass between students with masked obesity and non-masked obesity. This study was an observational study with cross-sectional design in 124 physiotherapy students. Body mass index, body weight, height, body fat mass, skeletal muscle mass and body fat percentage were evaluated using InBody 570 body composition analyzer. Independent t-test and Mann Whitney were used to compare body composition between students with masked obesity and non-masked obesity. Most (76.5%) of female students were masked obesity. Lower skeletal muscle mass was significantly observed in female students with masked obesity, but not in male students. Preventive and promotional strategies are required to counter the development of sarcopenia in individuals with masked obesity, especially women.
