Resumen

[Objetivo]: Estudiar la asociación entre la circunferencia del brazo y el índice de masa corporal así como estimar valores de corte de esta medida del brazo para detectar bajo peso en personas residentes en Costa Rica. [Métodos]: El estudio consideró 2514 personas de 60 años o más participantes en el proyecto Costa Rica: Estudio de longevidad y envejecimiento saludable. Los análisis incluyeron el cálculo de coeficientes de correlación de Spearman entre la circunferencia del brazo y el índice de masa corporal, el área bajo la curva Característica Operativa del Receptor y valores de sensibilidad y especificidad para medidas de la circunferencia del brazo, correspondientes al índice de masa corporal menores a 22 kg/m2. [Resultados]: el coeficiente de correlación de Spearman entre el índice de masa corporal y la circunferencia del brazo fue de 0.794 (0.774 para hombres y 0.806 para mujeres). Además, el punto de corte óptimo se estimó en 26.5 cm, dado un Índice de Youden de 0.7256, una sensibilidad de 87.79% y especificidad de 84.77%. Los puntos de cortes específicos para hombres y mujeres fueron 26.5 cm y 25.9 cm, respectivamente. [Conclusiones]: existe alta relación entre la circunferencia del brazo y el índice de masa corporal en la población de 60 años o más residente en Costa Rica y se estableció un primer acercamiento hacia la determinación de un punto de corte adecuado en la medida de la circunferencia del brazo, para detectar personas con bajo peso y mayor riesgo nutricional en esta población costarricense.
