	Objective: The aim of our work is to study the links between anthropometric parameters and body composition obtained by bioelectric impedancemetry in case of obese women of peri- menopausal age. Method and Materials: 154 obese women were classified according to their degree of obesity according to WHO criteria. The analysis of body composition was performed by impedancemetry. Pearson{\textquoteright}s (r) and Spearman{\textquoteright}s (r2 ) correlations were calculated to check the relationships between age, weight, BMI, as well as total and segmental body fat composition. Results: 154 women of mean age 40.20 {\textpm} 13.13 years, obese, mean BMI 38.66 {\textpm} 6.56 Kg/m2 participated in our study. Impedance reduced an average total fat mass\% (TFM\%) of 45.39 {\textpm} 5.67\%. BMI is strongly correlated with TFM\% (r = 0.73; r2 = 0.82; p >= 0.05). For obesity stages 1-2, weight is correlated with BMI (r-r2 \&gt; 0.40; p <= 0.001). Likewise, a strong correlation exists between weight and TFM in Kg (r2 = 0.82; p >= 0.05). For a BMI >= 35 Kg/m2 , weight is inversely correlated with age [r2 >= (-0.36); p <= 0.003]. The FM of the trunk (Kg) is correlated with the weight for obesity grade 3 (r = 0.49; p = 0.0002) and whatever the stage of obesity at the BMI (r >= 0.32; p <= 0.02). Conclusion: The use of bioelectrical impedancemetry in the diagnostic management of obese people is quite useful. This tool gives us better information on the location and distribution of fatty tissue.
