Measurement of body fat using leg to leg bioimpedance.
AIMS (1) To validate a leg to leg bioimpedance analysis (BIA) device in the measurement of body composition in children by assessment of its agreement with dual energy x ray absorptiometry (DXA) and its repeatability. (2) To establish a reference range of percentage body fat in Hong Kong Chinese children. METHODS Sequential BIA and DXA methods were used to determine body composition in 49 chi...
متن کاملEffect of intermittent sub-maximal exercise on percent body fat using leg-to-leg bioelectrical impedance analysis in children.
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of intermittent sub-maximal exercise on percent body fat (%BF) estimated by leg-to-leg bioelectrical impedance analysis (LBIA) in children. Fifty-nine children (29 girls; 30 boys) mean age 9.0 ± 1.3 years participated in this study. LBIA measured %BF values were obtained immediately before and within five minutes after completing an ...
متن کاملTreatment of Chronic Posttraumatic Leg Injury Using Autologous Fat Graft
We present the results obtained in a case of a 20-year-old Caucasian woman with a posttraumatic injury "hard-to-heal" of the left leg treated using autologous fat graft. Considering our experience in treatment of chronic posttraumatic ulcers by autologous fat graft, we decided to use this surgical technique to induce a regenerative effect in this young patient. We have had complete wound closur...
متن کاملBody Composition of Bangladeshi Children: Comparison and Development of Leg-to-Leg Bioelectrical Impedance Equation
The aim of this study was to investigate the validity of the Tanita TBF 300A leg-to-leg bioimpedance analyzer for estimating fat-free mass (FFM) in Bangladeshi children aged 4-10 years and to develop novel prediction equations for use in this population, using deuterium dilution as the reference method. Two hundred Bangladeshi children were enrolled. The isotope dilution technique with deuteriu...
متن کاملDoes a Physical Education Bout Alter Percent Body Fat and the Adiposity Health Risk Classification When Using Leg-to-leg Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis in Girls?
The purposes of this investigation were to determine: 1) whether a structured in-school physical education exercise bout altered the leg-to-leg bioelectrical impedance analysis (LBIA) determined percent body fat (%BF) value; and 2) whether the potential exercise-induced %BF magnitude of change altered the health risk classification of the child. Seventy-six girls (age: 12.2±1.0 yr; height: 153....
