Abstract
Background: Obesity is associated with mobility reduction due to mechanical factors and excessive body fat. The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) has been used to assess functional capacity in severe obesity. Objective: To determine the association of BMI, total and segmental body composition with distance walked (6MWD) during the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) according to gender and obesity grade. Setting: University of S�?拢o Paulo Medical School, Brazil. Public Practice/Methods: Functional capacity was assessed by 6MWD and body composition (%) by bioelectrical impedance analysis in 90 patients. Results: The mean 6MWD was 514.9�?卤50.3 m for both genders. The male group (M: 545.2�?卤46.9 m) showed a 6MWD higher (p=0.002) than the female group (F: 505.6�?卤47.9 m). The morbid obese group (MO: 524.7�?卤44.0 m) also showed a 6MWD higher (p=0.014) than the super obese group (SO: 494.2�?卤57.0 m). There was a positive relationship between 6MWD and fat free mass (FFM), FFM of upper limps (FFM_UL), trunk (FFM_TR) and lower limbs (FFM_LL). Female group presented a positive relationship between 6MWD and FFM, FFM_UL and FFM_LL and male group presented a positive relationship between 6MWD and FFM_TR. In morbid obese group, there was a positive relationship between 6MWD with FFM, FFM_UL, FFM_TR and FFM_LL. The super obese group presented a positive relationship between 6MWD with FFM, FFM_TR and FFM_LL. Conclusions: Total and segmental FFM is associated with a better walking capacity than BMI.Biography
