Caucasian children's fat mass: routine anthropometry v. air-displacement plethysmography.
The present paper will use fat mass percentage (FM%) obtained via BOD POD® air-displacement plethysmography (FMADP%) to examine the relative validity of (1) anthropometric measurements/indices and (2) of FM% assessed with equations (FMeq%) based on skinfold thickness and bioelectrical impedance (BIA). In 480 Belgian children (aged 5-11 years) weight, height, skinfold thickness (triceps and subs...
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 کاملBody composition assessment in overweight women: validation of air displacement plethysmography.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of air displacement plethysmography (ADP) compared to a dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) criterion for body composition measurement in overweight and obese women (BMI ≥ 25·0 kg m(2) ). SUBJECTS/METHODS Twenty-four overweight and obese women (Mean ± SD; Age: 36·6 ± 12·0 years; Height: 166·4 ± 5·8 cm; Weight: 8...
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 کاملAccuracy of wholebody fat quantification with MRI: A comparison to Air-Displacement Plethysmography
Introduction Besides the total amount of adipose tissue, its distribution has recently been recognized as an important factor in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases like diabetes mellitus [1]. MRI is capable for space-resolved imaging of fat distributions in the human body and various segmentation techniques have been introduced, which are based on MRI data [2,3]. In these studies, fat relat...
