Brief Summary

The aim of this study is analyze the relationship between the density of visceral and subcutaneous fat and cellulite with the lumbar lordosis degree.

Conditions

Lordosis

Keywords

Central Fat; Subcutaneous Fat; Lumbar Lordosis Degree; Cellulite

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Evaluation of Lumbar Lordosis by analysing photos of the lateral right side of the participants

  We used photogrammetry for this evaluation. We marked the anatomical points (T11, L1, S2 and Antero-superior Iliac Spine) with isopod balls. We took a picture of the right lateral view of the participant. Finally we used the SAPo software to measure free angles to determinate lumbar lordosis degree.

  Day 1

Secondary Outcomes (7)

• Body Mass Index

  Day 1

• Perimeters measurements using a tape-measure at waist level and at trochanters level at the end of expiration

  Day 1

• Skinfold measures

  Day 1

• Bioimpedance Balance

  Day 1

• Ecograph

  Day 1

Other Outcomes (2)

• International Physical Activity Questionnaire

  Day 1

• Food Frequency Questionnaire

  Day 1

Study Arms (4)

Males

Evaluation of body mass index, determination of waist-to-hip ration and waist-to-height ration, using perimetry; evaluation of 7 skinfold according to the model 7-site-skinfold Equation, by Jackson and Pollock, and photogrammetry (to evaluate the lumbar lordosis degree) in males aged between 18 and 26.

Other: Transversal Study so there is no intervention

Young Adults

Evaluation of abdominal thickness, percentage of abdominal fat and photogrammetry (to evaluate the lumbar lordosis degree) in young adults females aged between 18-26.

Other: Transversal Study so there is no intervention

Adults

Evaluation of abdominal thickness, percentage of abdominal fat and photogrammetry (to evaluate the lumbar lordosis degree) in adult females aged between 40-60.

Other: Transversal Study so there is no intervention

Females

Evaluation of body mass index, determination of waist-to-hip ration and waist-to-height ration using perimetry, evaluation of 7 skinfold according to the model 7-site-skinfold Equation, by Jackson and Pollock, and photogrammetry (to evaluate the lumbar lordosis degree) in females aged between 18 and 26.
