O percentual de gordura foi avaliado atraves do protocolo de Falkner (1968), que calcula o percentual com o somatorio de 4 dobras (subescapular,
tricipital, abdominal e supra iliaca) (Fagundes e Boscaini, 2014).
(25) para dobras cutaneas
tricipital e subescapular segundo o sexo, a maturacao sexual e raca.
O parametro que revelou maior frequencia 60% (n=12) de desnutricao grave foi a prega cutanea
tricipital (PCT) (Tabela 2).
The results indicate a similar morphological profile between boys and girls and reveal some differences only in the fat area measured in the
tricipital skinfold thickness (p = 0.001) and fat area (p = 0.008), where girls showed slightly superior values in comparison with those observed among boys.
Por ello, otros indicadores como la circunferencia de cintura (CC), el indice cintura-talla (C/T) y el pliegue
tricipital (PTr), surgen como medidas antropometricas idoneas utilizadas como herramienta complementaria para establecer la distribucion del tejido adiposo, estimar el porcentaje de grasa y medir el riesgo de desarrollar problemas cardio-metabolicos en ninos y adultos (16-18).
The same research assistant measured bicipital,
tricipital, subscapular, and suprailiac subcutaneous folds with a skinfold caliper (Caliper Deluxe 116-780, AMG Medical Inc., Montreal, QC) to the nearest millimetre; measurements were taken three times at each site, and the average of the three measurements was used for analyses.
The posterior circumflex humeral artery which is a branch of the third part of axillary artery passes through the Quadrangular space or humero
tricipital foramen (between Teres major, Teres minor, shaft of humerus and long head of Triceps) along with Axillary nerve.
