本研究的主要目的在探討利用評估肥胖及骨骼肌肉量的檢測指標,來瞭解年輕女性肌少性肥胖症之現況,並調查其日常身體活動的情形。研究將122位女大學生(平均年齡20.5 ± 1.3歲,身高160.0 ± 4.9公分,體重55.8 ± 9.8公斤),先依照肥胖的檢測指標身體質量指數(BMI) BMI >23.9 kg/m^2,分為BMI ≤ 23.9與> 23.9 kg/m^2,再依體脂肪率(PBF) PBF > 30%分為,PBF ≤ 30與> 30%,最後再依骨骼肌肉量的檢測指標骨骼肌肉指數(SMI) SMI ≤ 7.88 kg/m^2,分為SMI ≤7.88與SMI > 7.88 kg/m^2,分別探討其在身體組成、握力及運動指標得分量表之差異。結果顯示有肌少性肥胖症風險的族群分別為:以依BMI分組時的BMI ≤ 23.9 kg/m^2 (BMI 20.5 kg/m^2,PBF 29%,SMI 7.76 kg/m^2 ),與依SMI分組時的SMI ≤ 7.88 kg/m^2 (BMI 19.7 kg/m^2,PBF29.7%,SMI 7.3 kg/m^2),二組在握力與運動指標得分量表皆屬差與缺乏身體活動。本研究結論為BMI正常者,若缺乏身體活動,易導致體制脂肪過高與肌肉不足之風險,將提早出現「肌少性肥胖症」的隱憂。
The present study applied body composition as an indicator to investigate female university students' sarcopenic obesity symptoms (SOS). 122 female university students were invited. This study used body mass index (BMI), percentage of body fat (PBF), and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) as the standards to separate all participants into two groups. In terms of BMI, the results showed that the participants’ BMI who were under 23.9 kg/m2 have higher risk in undertaking sarcopenic obesity. Similarly, the results revealed that the participants’ SMI who were under 7.88 kg/m2 also has higher risk to have Sarcopenic Obesity. According to the findings, it is suggested that even female university students who have normal BMI could be a high risky group if they are in the conditions of insufficient lean muscle quantity and high percentage of body fat.
