Introduction: Several body composition formulae exist. Otherwise, no one is specific to type 1 diabetic which has been using in gyms and health places, but without scientifical comparison to analyze with gold standards. Objective: to characterize the body composition of an individual with DM1 and to compare it by different methods of body composition assessment. Methods: First day, after anamneses, it was made basic anthropometric measurements (weight, height, perimeters, and skinfolds) and Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Three formula were used to compare with a gold standard (DXA). Descriptive values were used to analyze de comparisons. Results: DXA has shown 26.6%, 20.7 kg, and 57.2 kg to body fat percentage, Fat mass and Lean Mass, respectively. Deurenberg, Weststrate & Seidell shown 22.0%, 17.8 kg and 63.2kg. Jackson & Pollock, 35.9%, 29.0 kg and 52.0. Finally, Katch & McArdle, 19.0%, 15.4 kg and 65.6 kg. Conclusion: The equation of Deurenberg, Weststrate, and Seidell (1991) presented the lowest delta of variation in relation to the body composition variables obtained by DXA. Thus, it is also possible to perform a body composition in people with type 1 diabetes through simpler techniques of assessment, such as equations based on body perimeter measurements and skinfolds.Downloads
