|
|
Purpose:To analyze body composition in postpartum women with cold-hypersensitivity, their edema index, skelectal muscle’s weight and body fat were measured and analyzed with cold hypersensitive postpartum women compared with those of non-cold hypersensitivity.
Methods: We studied 38 postpartum women visiting Gangnam Kyung-Hee Korean Hospital from 1 st October 2010 to 30th september 2011. they were subjected to Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging and those with thermal difference greater than between anterior forearm and center of hand were diagnosed with cold hypersensitivity. Cold hypersensitivity group were consisted of 11 women, the other were consisted of 26 women. All of them were measured Edema index, skelectal muscle’s weight and body fat by Inbody720(body composition scanner). We studied the difference of Body composition factor between two groups and relationship between cold-hypersensitivity, Edema index, skelectal muscle’s weight and body fat by Independent Samples T-test and Spearman Correlation.
Results: No significant differences were observed in edema index, skelectal muscle’s weight and body fat between two groups.
Conclusion: There was no significant relationship among the Cold-hypersensitivity and Body composition factor(Edema index, skelectal muscle’s weight. body fat). But furthemore large scale study is required.
