Introducción: La obesidad es un problema de salud pública que afecta y que ha aumentado rápidamente en la última década en un gran número de países en el mundo. Además, es un factor de riesgo importante en la enfermedad cardiovascular y se ha mostrado como un posible factor de riesgo en la mortalidad especialmente por enfermedades crónicas. Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de obesidad de acuerdo a tres índices antropométricos como el Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC), la Circunferencia de Cintura (CC) y el porcentaje de Grasa Corporal (% GC) medido por impedancia bioeléctrica y estimar los índices de validez y exactitud para definir obesidad según IMC y CC, usando como referencia el % GC.
Material y métodos: Estudio transversal que incluye a 141 participantes de la Encuesta de Nutrición de Comunidad Valenciana realizada en 1994 que fueron evaluados de nuevo 10 años después. Se realizaron mediciones antropométricas usando protocolos estandarizados para peso y talla, obteniendo IMC, CC y % GC. Los puntos de corte utilizados para definir obesidad fueron: IMC ≥ 30 kg/m2, CC > 102 cm en hombres y > 88 cm en mujeres, y un % GC > 27 para hombres y > 40 en mujeres. Se estimaron coeficientes de correlación ajustados por edad entre los distintos indicadores antropométricos. Se estimó la sensibilidad, especificidad y valores predictivos para IMC y CC utilizando % GC como referencia.
Resultados: La prevalencia de obesidad fue 19,9% (IMC), 37,6% (CC) y 38,3% (%GC). La correlación osciló entre 0,232 para CC-% GC y 0,829 para IMC-CC. Utilizando el % GC como método de referencia, el IMC mostró mayor especificidad (en mujeres 92,6% y en hombres 93,9%) y la CC mayor sensibilidad (en mujeres 83,3% y en hombres 53,7%) para detectar obesidad.
Conclusiones: La prevalencia de obesidad difiere según el indicador antropométrico utilizado. La CC, dada su fácil medición, puede ser el indicador más apropiado a utilizar en estudios de base poblacional y programas preventivos para detectar obesidad en adultos.
