Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry in obesity.
48 CMAJ, January 7, 2014, 186(1) © 2014 Canadian Medical Association or its licensors Two patients with grade III obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 40), a 31-year-old man (A) and a 26-year-old woman (B), underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on vertical banded gastroplasty. Both patients followed the same nutritional and postsurgical approach. After 12 months, both patients achieved a similar reduc...
متن کاملComparison of Bone Mineral Density Measured by Dual X-ray, Axial Dual-energy Photon X-ray Absorptiometry and Laser Absorptiometry of Calcaneus
The objective of this study was to validate the use of bone mineral measurements of the calcaneus bone by dual X-ray and laser (DXL) in a cross-sectional study carried out in an osteoporosis clinic. Measurements of bone mineral density (BMD) at proximal femur and spine were obtained by dual-energy photon X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Osteoporosis was defined by a DEXA T-score <-2.5 at the femora...
متن کاملDual-energy X-ray absorptiometry: fat estimation errors due to variation in soft tissue hydration.
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is rapidly gaining acceptance as a reference method for analyzing body composition. An important and unresolved concern is whether and to what extent variation in soft tissue hydration causes errors in DXA fat estimates. The present study aim was to develop and validate a DXA physical hydration model and then to apply this model by simulating errors arisin...
متن کاملErrors in dual energy x-ray absorptiometry estimation of body composition induced by hypohydration.
Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a popular tool to determine body composition (BC) in athletes, and is used for analysis of fat-free soft tissue mass (FFST) or fat mass (FM) gain/loss in response to exercise or nutritional interventions. The aim of the current study was to assess the effect of exercise-heat stress induced hypohydration (HYP, >2% of body mass (BM) loss) vs. maintenance ...
متن کاملEmerging trends in dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.
The risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease increase significantly with age. Because of the long silent latency of these diseases, there is the opportunity for primary prevention before clinical symptoms occur. The newer fan beam dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) systems can detect vertebral fractures with fast, low dose lateral scans of the vertabrae from T4 to L4 in as little as ...
