초록

Purpose: There is no reliable body index to use in estimating
adult body weight. The purpose of the study was to
develop a body index that can estimate adult body weight
and to perform a regression equation of body weight versus
the body index
Methods: We performed a prospective study. We measured
body weight and various body indexes, including
arm, wrist, calf, and ankle circumference, in the patients
who visited our emergency department. A correlation analysis
was performed between these body indexes and body
weight, and a simple linear regression analysis was used to
examine the relationship between the most correlative body
index and body weight.
Results: Two hundred five patients were enrolled. The correlation
coefficient between body weight and calf, arm,
wrist, and ankle circumference were, respectively, 0.919,
0.792, 0.546, and 0.432 for males and 0.913, 0.781, 0.476,
and 0.430 for females. The body index with the greatest
correlation to body weight was calf circumference. The
regression equations were: male body weight = 2.510×calf
circumference - 25.673, and female body weight = 2.375×
calf circumference - 22.560.
Conclusion: The most reliable body index for estimating
adult body weight is calf circumference.
