Résumé
The aim of the study was to assess the correlation between the cellulite severity and the thickness of the fat fold. The study comprised 62 women aged 22 to 26 years. A palpation and visual evaluation of cellulite severity was performed on the basis of the Nurnberger and Muller classification, and the thickness of adipose tissue (fatty tissue) was measured with the use of a skinfold caliper. The H0 hypothesis was rejected in favor of the H1 hypothesis (p < 0.001) in the chi-square independence test; therefore, a relationship between the thickness of the adipose tissue fold and the severity of cellulite was confirmed. Moreover, on the basis of obtained results, the hypothesis of the independence of the studied variables (p < 0.0000001) was also rejected. It can be concluded that there is an association between the thickness of adipose tissue and the degree of cellulite. Moreover, the values of the obtained coefficients are greater than zero (the correlation is positive), and the obtained Spearman's R (0.89) and Kendall's tau (0.79) values indicate a very strong correlation between the studied variables. On the basis of obtained results and their statistical analysis, we can state that there is a relationship between the degree of cellulite and the thickness of the fat fold-the degree of cellulite increases with the increase in the thickness of the measured fat fold.
