[Body composition by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry in women with fibromyalgia].
OBJECTIVES To assess body composition in women with fibromyalgia (FM) comparing to the reference value for healthy women. PATIENTS AND METHODS Cross-sectional observational analytical study, with 52 women selected with Fibromyalgia, according American College of Rheumatology (ACR, 1990) criteria. The patients were selected in Hospital de Clínicas da Universidade Federal do Paraná (HC-UFPR) an...
متن کاملBody Composition Analysis by Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry in Women Aged 20-75 Years
Obesity has become a worldwide epidemic [1]. Its consequences include severely increased morbidity and mortality, as well as impaired quality of life. According to recent publications, 38.8% of the men and 28.3% of the women in a random Bulgarian population (1046 women and 912 men) have overweight and obesity [2]. Common measures of overweight and obesity are the body weight, body mass index (B...
متن کاملBody composition analysis by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry in adults with cystic fibrosis.
Assessment of nutritional status is important in cystic fibrosis (CF). We performed body composition analysis by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in 12 adults with CF, 7 of them with malnutrition as defined by percentage of ideal body weight (IBW) lower than 90. The DXA allowed for determination of bone body mass (BBM), lean body mass (LBM), and fat body mass (FBM). A deficit in BBM and L...
متن کاملComparison 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 کاملMeasuring body composition in overweight individuals by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry
BACKGROUND: Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is widely used for body composition measurements in normal-weight and overweight/obese individuals. The limitations of bone densitometers have been frequently addressed. However, the possible errors in assessing body composition in overweight individuals due to incorrect positioning or limitations of DXA to accurately assess both bone mineral d...
