Resumen
Thermography or infrared imaging is a non-invasive technology, free of ionizing radiations and physical contact, have an interpretation considered accessible as well as its cost, used in various delimitations in the field of health sciences, especially In the clinical and sports medical evaluation, complementing the diagnosis and consequently proposing an increase in the efficacy of the diagnosis. The present study had as general objective to search for relationships between the fat percentage and the cutaneous temperature of the abdominal region measured by infrared thermography. The sample consisted of 40 women, 18 to 35 years old, being a group of 20 normal weight women and a group of 20 overweight women. Statistical analysis used the Student T test to verify the relationship between the variables. Pearson Correlation was applied to analyze the temperature variables associated with anthropometry, total body fat percentage and trunk fat percentage. The following anthropometric indicators were evaluated: Body mass index, waist circumference, umbilicus, circumference of the abdomen, waist to hip ratio, the height to waist ratio, (%BF), (%F of trunk), as well as the minimum right abdomen temperature, maximum right abdomen temperature and the mean temperature of the abdomen right abdomen. Results: It was not possible to obtain significant relationships between the variables of abdominal skin temperature, anthropometry and %BF with Pearson Correlation. However, although it is a small difference, mean, minimum and maximum abdominal region temperatures were higher in the normal weight group compared to the overweight group. Conclusion: It is possible that for this study the sample was reduced without presenting significant data, however there is evidence in the literature of significant relationships for groups surveyed with obesity.
