Özet:

 Objective: The aim of the authors of this study was to determine the reference values for the Adductor Pollicis Muscle Thickness APMT in individuals belonging to a healthy population and to compare these values with other anthropometric measurements. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the APMT in the dominant and non-dominant hands of 385 healthy individuals categorized according to age and gender variables were measured with a caliper. Individuals in the A category according to the Subjective Global Assessment SGA test were included in the study, and anthropometric measurements. Results: In the study, 193 women and 192 men were included, and various anthropometric measurements were taken. The mean APMT values of the dominant and non-dominant hands were 20.87  3.23 mm and 19.28  2.93 mm in men and 16.78  3.10 mm and 15.43  2.92 mm in women, respectively, which indicates that there were significant differences between the members of the two genders and between the members of the same gender p0.001. There was a high level of positive correlation between the mean APMT values of the dominant hand and the mid-upper arm circumference p0.001. Conclusion: In this study, a high-level and positive correlation was found between APMT values and mid-upper arm circumference MUAC, mid-upper arm muscle circumference MUAMC and mid-upper arm muscle area AMA values. APMT measurement emerges as a useful and new anthropometric measurement method in the assessment of the nutritional status of a person.
