Upper arm anthropometry is not a valid predictor of regional body composition in preterm infants.
BACKGROUND Upper arm anthropometry has been used in the nutritional assessment of small infants, but it has not yet been validated as a predictor of regional body composition in this population. OBJECTIVE Validation of measured and derived upper arm anthropometry as a predictor of arm fat and fat-free compartments in preterm infants. METHODS Upper arm anthropometry, including the upper arm ...
متن کاملBody composition of preterm infants during infancy.
AIMS To examine body composition in preterm infants. METHODS Body composition was measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) at hospital discharge, term, 12 weeks, and at 6 and 12 months corrected age in 125 infants (birthweight < or = 1750 g, gestational age < or = 34 weeks). RESULTS Body weight derived by DEXA accurately predicted that determined by conventional scales. In both s...
متن کاملGrowth and body composition in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
OBJECTIVE To compare growth and body composition in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) with normal healthy term infants during the first year of life. DESIGN Twenty nine preterm infants with BPD (mean (SD) gestational age 27.1 (1.6) weeks; birth weight 852 (173) g) were followed prospectively. Anthropometry and body composition determined by total body electrical conductivi...
متن کاملAnthropometry in body composition. An overview.
Anthropometry is a simple reliable method for quantifying body size and proportions by measuring body length, width, circumference (C), and skinfold thickness (SF). More than 19 sites for SF, 17 for C, 11 for width, and 9 for length have been included in equations to predict body fat percent with a standard error of estimate (SEE) range of +/- 3% to +/- 11% of the mean of the criterion measurem...
متن کاملLate preterm infants’ growth and body composition after discharge
Background The proportion of late preterm births has markedly increased during the past two decades, accounting for 70% of preterm births [1]. There is evidence that monitoring not only the quantity but also the quality of growth, in terms of body composition changes, may play an important role in gaining further insight into the relationship between birth weight and time in utero on early grow...
