Body composition measurements
Accurate assessment of body composition is important in obesity and in many areas of nutrition-related research. The foundation of the development of body composition analysis has been the two-compartment model, dividing body mass into fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM). A range of techniques are available. Some of them are producing very accurate data, so called “gold standard” or reference...

With these remarks Keys & Brozek (1 953) dismissed the contributions of anatomists to body composition measurements and introduced the concepts that still sustain modern investigators in this fie...
متن کاملHeritability parameters for some body measurements in Turkish Arabian foals
The aim of the present study was to estimate genetic parameters of body measurements in TurkishArabian foals. Records of wither height, front cannon circumference, heart girth, and body length were usedfor body measurements at birth, 6 months of age, 1-year-old and 2-year-old. Heritability of bodymeasurements of Turkish Arabian foals was estimated by using records of foals sired by stallions wh...
متن کاملLaboratory and field measurements of body composition.
OBJECTIVE This background paper was prepared in response to a request to review the concepts related to measurement of body composition, to discuss laboratory and field methods of assessing body composition and to discuss the practical applications of the methods--how they might be used singly or in combination to provide data for a selected population. DESIGN The common laboratory and field ...
متن کاملWhat can we learn from TMD measurements?
Transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution and fragmentation functions describe the partonic structure of the nucleon in a three-dimensional momentum space. They are subjects of flourishing theoretical and experimental activity. They provide novel and intriguing information on hadronic structure, including evidence of the presence of partonic orbital angular momentum.
