Measurement of total RBC volume relative to lean body mass for diagnosis of polycythemia.
An elevated total RBC volume (TRCV) in milliliters per kilogram of body weight has been an essential criterion for determining whether a person is polycythemic. This may be misleading in obese subjects as the TRCV per kilogram of fat is only one-tenth that of the TRCV of the lean body mass (LBM). Various formulas based on surface area have been used to account for this difference, but they are ...
متن کاملTotal Body Less Head Measurement Is Most Appropriate for Lean Mass Assessment in Adults.
Exclusion of the head from total-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans is recommended when measuring pediatric bone mass (1,2).We write to suggest that a similar approach, that is, total body less head (TBLH) measurement, should be considered when measuring total-body lean mass in adults. DXA-measured total-body lean mass is often used as a surrogate for muscle mass in athletic perf...
متن کاملValidity and reliability of total body volume and relative body fat mass from a 3-dimensional photonic body surface scanner
OBJECTIVE Three-dimensional photonic body surface scanners (3DPS) feature a tool to estimate total body volume (BV) from 3D images of the human body, from which the relative body fat mass (%BF) can be calculated. However, information on validity and reliability of these measurements for application in epidemiological studies is limited. METHODS Validity was assessed among 32 participants (men...
متن کاملLinkage of genes to total lean body mass in normal women.
BACKGROUND Total lean body mass (LEAN-tot) is one of the three major components of body weight. Its deterioration is a risk factor for frailty. Despite this, there are few studies examining the contribution of genetic factors. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to examine the contribution of genetic factors for LEAN-tot variation, including a genome-wide search for the genes. RESEARCH METHODS Dual...
