Resumen:
Objective: Routine body size measurement of anthropometric values
requires professionals, standardized techniques, and calibrated tools.
Therefore, there is a need for easier screening tools such as the
self-reported body silhouette (Self-bosi). The aim of this study was to
analyze the performance of Self-bosi as a proxy of anthropometric
values. Study design: Prospective analytic study of the Health Workers
Cohort Study.
Methods: Adult participants of the Health Workers Cohort Study were
included. Then, through the calculation sensitivity and specificity of
Self-bosi to detect abnormal waist circumference (WC) (>90 cm for male
and >80 cm for female participants), elevated body fat percentage (BF%)
(>25% for male and >35% for female participants), as well as
overweight and obesity (>25 kg/m(2)) and obesity (>30 kg/m(2)).
Results: A total of 2471 male and 5940 female participants were
analyzed. Overall, Self-bosi discriminate high WC values (area under the
curve [AUC]; male participants: 0.80, female participants: 0.82);
increased BF% (AUC: male participants: 0.78, female participants:
0.83); overweight and obesity (AUC: male participants: 0.81, female
participants: 0.86); and obesity (AUC: male participants: 0.83, female
participants: 0.89).
Conclusion: Self-bosi is an accurate method to assess increased WC,
BF%, obesity, and overweight-obesity in Mexican adults. Given its
simplicity and low-cost of the self-reported body silhouette, it might
be considered a useful anthropometric screening instrument in large
scale epidemiological research. (C) 2021 The Royal Society for Public
