Caucasian 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 کاملAn anthropometric model to estimate neonatal fat mass using air displacement plethysmography
BACKGROUND Current validated neonatal body composition methods are limited/impractical for use outside of a clinical setting because they are labor intensive, time consuming, and require expensive equipment. The purpose of this study was to develop an anthropometric model to estimate neonatal fat mass (kg) using an air displacement plethysmography (PEA POD® Infant Body Composition System) as th...
متن کاملCorrelation 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 کاملthe effect of body fat mass and fat free mass on migraine headache.
background: obesity seems to be associated to migraine headache. increase in body fat, especially in gluteofemoral region, elevates adiponectin and leptin secretion which in turn impair inflammatory processes that could be contributing to migraine risk. this study was designed to assess the relationship between body composition and risk of migraine for the first time. methods: in this cross-sec...
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...
