Comparison of Bone Mineral Density Measured by Dual X-ray, Axial Dual-energy Photon X-ray Absorptiometry and Laser Absorptiometry of Calcaneus
The objective of this study was to validate the use of bone mineral measurements of the calcaneus bone by dual X-ray and laser (DXL) in a cross-sectional study carried out in an osteoporosis clinic. Measurements of bone mineral density (BMD) at proximal femur and spine were obtained by dual-energy photon X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Osteoporosis was defined by a DEXA T-score <-2.5 at the femora...
متن کاملDual-energy X-ray absorptiometry-based body volume measurement for 4-compartment body composition.
BACKGROUND Total body volume (TBV), with the exclusion of internal air voids, is necessary to quantify body composition in Lohman's 4-compartment (4C) model. OBJECTIVE This investigation sought to derive a novel, TBV measure with the use of only dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) attenuation values for use in Lohman's 4C body composition model. DESIGN Pixel-specific masses and volumes w...
متن کاملBody composition in subjects with anorexia nervosa: bioelectrical impedance analysis and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the applicability and validity of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) compared with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in a population of girls with restrictive anorexia nervosa (AN). METHODS A total of 30 girls (11-19 years old) with AN were enrolled. DXA and BIA (BIA software and the Deurenberg equations) were used to estimate the body composition. The correlati...
متن کاملModeling the shape and composition of the human body using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry images
There is growing evidence that body shape and regional body composition are strong indicators of metabolic health. The purpose of this study was to develop statistical models that accurately describe holistic body shape, thickness, and leanness. We hypothesized that there are unique body shape features that are predictive of mortality beyond standard clinical measures. We developed algorithms t...
متن کاملEstimates of body composition with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in adults.
BACKGROUND Little is known about the distributions of percentage body fat (PBF), total body fat (TBF), and fat-free mass (FFM) in the adult population in the United States. OBJECTIVES We sought to estimate the means and percentile cutoffs of PBF, TBF, and FFM and to assess the differences by sex, age, race-ethnicity, and body mass index in US adults. DESIGN Data from the National Health and...
