Body composition in female anorexia nervosa patients.
For the first time, body composition has been studied in a very large sample of female anorexia nervosa patients (n 200) using two methods: anthropometry (skinfold thickness) and densitometry (underwater weighing). The concurrent validity of both methods appeared to be good (r 0.84). Although the mean percentage of body fat (13.5) in our sample corresponds with most of the previous reports, the...
متن کاملBody composition changes in female adolescents with anorexia nervosa.
BACKGROUND Body weight provides limited information about nutritional status of patients with anorexia nervosa (AN). OBJECTIVES Our objectives were to determine body composition (BC) changes, to find clinical predictors and endocrine correlates of total body protein (TBPr) depletion, and to compare results on fat mass (FM) obtained with anthropometry (skinfold measurements) and dual-energy X-...
متن کاملRegional body composition in adolescents with anorexia nervosa and changes with weight recovery.
BACKGROUND Studies of regional fat distribution in adults with anorexia nervosa (AN) have shown decreased extremity fat at baseline and increased trunk fat with weight recovery, resulting in truncal adiposity. Little is known about fat distribution in adolescents with AN, especially with weight recovery. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine whether regional fat distribution in adolescents with AN...
متن کاملTactile body image disturbance in anorexia nervosa
Body image disturbances are central to anorexia nervosa (AN). Previous studies have focused mainly on attitudinal and visual aspects. Studies on somatosensory aspects thus far have been scarce. We therefore investigated whether AN patients and controls differed in tactile perception, and how this tactile body image related to visual body image and body dissatisfaction. The Tactile Estimation Ta...
متن کاملBody composition in subjects with anorexia nervosa: bioelectrical impedance analysis and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the applicability and validity of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) compared with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in a population of girls with restrictive anorexia nervosa (AN). METHODS A total of 30 girls (11-19 years old) with AN were enrolled. DXA and BIA (BIA software and the Deurenberg equations) were used to estimate the body composition. The correlati...
