척수손상 환자의 신체부위별 체수분 분포 및 안정시 에너지 소비량 분석

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analysis the change of body composition, segmental total body water and resting energy expenditure in Long term spinal cord injured adults using segmental bioelectrical Impedance analysis and Automatic Gas Analyzer. The subjects were composed of 44 spinal cord injured adults and healthy adults man. The results were as followings： 1. Total body water(TBW) was lower in SCI patients than healthy adults man, especially decreased TBW was mainly due to decreased extracellular water. Also, the protein, mineral, and skeletal muscle mass was lower in SCI patients than healthy adults man but % body fat was higher in SCI patients than healthy adults man and a significant difference between groups(p<.05). 2. BMI(Body Mass Index), PBF(Percent Body Fat) and WHR(Waist-Hip Ratio) parameter was higher in SCI patients than healthy adults man, and a significant difference between groups in BMI and PBF(p<.05). 3. segmental total body water(STBW) was lower in SCI patients than healthy adults man, and a significant difference between groups in lower limbs(p<.05). 4. The electrical resistance in whole body and at each body part was higher in SCI patients than healthy adults man. Even though in the upper limbs there is no difference between groups, there is a difference between groups in the whole body and lower limbs(p<.05). 5. Resting energy expenditure(REE) was lower in SCI patients than healthy adults man and a significant difference between groups(p<.05).
