Resumen

Introducción: La obesidad es un importante problema de salud pública asociado a diversos riesgos para la salud. Los métodos precisos y accesibles para evaluar el porcentaje de grasa corporal son esenciales para la evaluación de la obesidad. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar la relación entre la circunferencia del cuello y el porcentaje de grasa corporal, considerando el análisis de impedancia bioeléctrica como método de referencia. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal en 63 estudiantes de medicina y paramédica del sexo masculino con edades entre 18 y 25 años. La circunferencia del cuello, el porcentaje de grasa corporal, el peso, la altura y el índice de masa corporal (IMC) se midieron utilizando técnicas estandarizadas. El análisis estadístico incluyó estadísticas descriptivas, análisis de correlación y pruebas de significación. Resultados: La circunferencia media del cuello fue de 37,4 cm (DE = ±1,6) y el porcentaje medio de grasa corporal fue del 22,8% (DE = ±4,5). Se observó una fuerte correlación positiva entre la circunferencia del cuello y el porcentaje de grasa corporal (r = 0,75, p ≤ 0,001). Los resultados indicaron que la circunferencia del cuello puede servir como una medida práctica y accesible para estimar el porcentaje de grasa corporal. Conclusión: la circunferencia del cuello se correlacionó fuertemente con el porcentaje de grasa corporal, lo que sugiere su potencial como herramienta de evaluación de la obesidad. Se necesita más investigación que involucre a poblaciones más grandes y diversas para validar estos hallazgos y explorar las implicaciones clínicas del uso de la circunferencia del cuello en la evaluación de la obesidad.
