Correlation of Air Displacement Plethysmography with Alternative Body Fat Measurement Techniques in Men and Women
Obesity has reached epidemic proportions with serious health consequences. Techniques used to measure body fat (BF) yield variable BF estimates, and this variability may lead to underestimation or overestimation of BF and subsequent treatment options. The measurements that are most accurate (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) and Air Displacement Plethysmography (ADP)) are expensive and of...
متن کاملCaucasian children's fat mass: routine anthropometry v. air-displacement plethysmography.
The present paper will use fat mass percentage (FM%) obtained via BOD POD® air-displacement plethysmography (FMADP%) to examine the relative validity of (1) anthropometric measurements/indices and (2) of FM% assessed with equations (FMeq%) based on skinfold thickness and bioelectrical impedance (BIA). In 480 Belgian children (aged 5-11 years) weight, height, skinfold thickness (triceps and subs...
متن کاملAccuracy of wholebody fat quantification with MRI: A comparison to Air-Displacement Plethysmography
Introduction Besides the total amount of adipose tissue, its distribution has recently been recognized as an important factor in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases like diabetes mellitus [1]. MRI is capable for space-resolved imaging of fat distributions in the human body and various segmentation techniques have been introduced, which are based on MRI data [2,3]. In these studies, fat relat...
متن کاملBody composition following stem cell transplant: comparison of bioimpedance and air-displacement plethysmography.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the agreement between detected changes in body composition determined by bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) and air-displacement plethysmography (ADP) among patients with cancer undergoing peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT); and to assess the agreement of absolute values of BIS with ADP and dual energy x-ray (DXA). METHODS Forty-four ...
متن کاملComparison of anthropometric-based equations for estimation of body fat percentage in a normal-weight and overweight female cohort: validation via air-displacement plethysmography.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of the most commonly used anthropometric-based equations in the estimation of percentage body fat (%BF) in both normal-weight and overweight women using air-displacement plethysmography (ADP) as the criterion measure. DESIGN A comparative study in which the equations of Durnin and Womersley (1974; DW) and Jackson, Pollock and Ward (1980) at three, four and s...
