Laboratory 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 کاملBody 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...
متن کاملIntercomparison of Field and Laboratory Goniometer Measurements
Field and laboratory goniometers are widely used in the remote sensing community to assess spectrodirectional reflectance properties of selected targets. Even when the same target and goniometer system are used, field and laboratory results cannot directly be compared due to inherent differences, mainly in the illumination conditions: typically goniometers measure a hemispherical-conical reflec...

INTRODUCTION: THE BASIS OF MEASUREMENTS ‘A proper evaluation of the individual living body and its functional characteristics is not possible from the simple classification system of the butcher.. . ’. 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 کاملField and Laboratory Measurements of Snow Liquid Water by Dilution
Field trials of the dilution technique for measuring snow liquid water content show that the refined procedure is rapid and simple. Measurements of the liquid water mass fraction with an absolute error of --• 1.5% can be obtained by one operator at a rate of 10-15 samples per hour, but if the water content is low (0-2%), the relative error can be high. Electrolytic conductivity is the preferred...
