| বিবরন: | The goal of this research was to measure and correlate body composition, lipid profile and physical fitness in Mexican normal weight and overweight teenage girls by using a cross-sectional study design. The study included 38 adolescent girls (age 14-19) classified as normal weight (n = 17) and overweight (n = 21), based on the World Health Organization’s standards (WHO) with a BMI (kg/m²) depending on the z-score; girls and women aged 5-19 years (z-score: 0 to +1 SD = normal weight, +1 to +2 SD = overweight). Body composition, lipid profile (total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol HDL-C, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol LDL-C), and physical fitness (VO2peak and 1RM) were measured. The main findings indicated that body composition variables in normal weight adolescents were significantly lower (p < 0.05, M ± SD) than in overweight adolescent girls. No significant differences were observed in VO2peak, 1RM or lipid profile. In conclusion, normal weight teenage girls had a higher body fat composition than overweight teenage girls, but this did not seem to affect lipid levels. However, an association between fitness level (VO2peak) and body composition (body fat percent, skinfolds) was found. More studies will be needed to determine the extent to which VO2 levels in adolescent women are associated with their body fat levels.English translation by Jeannette Soto Segura |
