Whole body air displacement plethysmography compared with hydrodensitometry for body composition analysis.
AIMS To assess the acceptability and feasibility of whole body air displacement plethysmography in children and to determine its precision and agreement with hydrodensitometry, an appropriate reference method. METHODS Age specific two component model equations were used to predict fat mass from body density in 22 children aged 8-12 years and in 10 adults for comparison of methods. Precision f...
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 کاملAssessment of body composition by air-displacement plethysmography: influence of body temperature and moisture
BACKGROUND: To investigate the effect of body temperature and moisture on body fat (%fat), volume and density by air-displacement plethysmography (BOD POD). METHODS: %fat, body volume and density by the BOD POD before (BOD PODBH) and immediately following hydrostatic weighing (BOD PODFH) were performed in 32 healthy females (age (yr) 33 +/- 11, weight (kg) 64 +/- 14, height (cm) 167 +/- 7). Bod...
متن کاملBody density estimates from upper-body skinfold thicknesses compared to air-displacement plethysmography.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Determine the accuracy of body density (Db) estimated with upper-body skinfold thickness (SFT) measurements compared to air-displacement plethysmography (ADP) and ascertain whether body mass index (BMI) impacts the accuracy of SFT to assess Db. METHODS We estimated Db with SFT and ADP in 131 healthy men and women with normal (N; 18.5-24.9kg/m(2)), overweight (OW; 25-29.9kg/m...
متن کاملR-V graph in whole body plethysmography
Slow spirometry and forced spirometry (flow volume loop) are often used to measure clinically relevant lung volumes and forced expiratory and inspiratory flows. Dynamic parameters, such as forced expiratory volumes in one second (FEV1) or forced vital capacity (FVC) and static lung volumes, such as expiratory reserve volume (ERV), inspiratory capacity (IC) and inspiratory vital capacity (IVC) c...
