AbstractBackgroundYoung ballet dancers are at risk of health issues associated with altered nutritional status and of relative energy deficiency in sport compared to the general population.AimTo evaluate the nutritional status and body composition in ballet dancers.Materials and methodsThe study group consisted of 40 young ballet dancers (mean age 19.97 years). Height and weight were measured and body mass index was calculated in all subjects (mean BMI value 19.79 kg/m2, SD: 2.051). Body composition was estimated using the bioelectrical impedance method.ResultsThe dancers’ fat-free mass was 47.33 kg (SD: 5.064) and, on the average, body fat represented the 15.92% (SD: 16.91) of their body weight.ConclusionsBallet dancers, who usually show significantly lower BMI values compared to the general population, also displayed body fat values under the suggested range. Some screening for altered nutritional status should be performed. In addition, education programs should be recommended in young ballet dancers, in order to inform about energy and nutrition requirements for health and training and to prevent malnutrition-related problems.

Body composition (lean mass, fat content) was assessed in 32 women aged 21 to 78 by measuring the thickness of subcutaneous fat in 4 typical sites and urinary excretion of creatinine, and estimating whole-body bioelectrical impedance (BI) by tetrapolar analyzer attached to personal computer. Results of BI measurements better correlated with body composition values assessed from the thickness of subcutaneous fat (particularly so in subjects aged under 50 and with Broca’s index from 0 to +19%). Hence, BI assessment may be used to evaluate body composition in patients with various endocrine diseases before the treatment and to monitor its efficacy in some diseases.
