Abstract. Whether multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (MF-BIA), a relatively new method for measuring body composition, is also applicable for accurate body composition measurements in renal transplant (RTx) patients is not known. Therefore, the use of MF-BIA is validated in 77 RTx patients with a stable renal function at least 2 yr posttransplantation. MF-BIA is compared to isotope dilution techniques for measurement of body water compartments, and to dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and anthropometry for measurement of fat and fat free mass. Finally, DEXA and anthropometry

Abstract:

Incremental improvements in our knowledge of the associations between human body composition and disease have been facilitated by advances in research technology. Magnetic resonance imaging and computerized tomography are among the technological advances that have helped unravel the mechanisms that link body composition and disease. However, because the use of these methods in large-scale studies and field settings is impractical, the potential relationships between body composition and health risk rely on the use of anthropometric tools. Indeed, the application of simple anthropometry to iden

Abstract:

Anthropometry, the systematic measurement of human body dimensions and composition using standardized procedures, has long been one of the physical anthropologist's most important methods. Early work in biomedical anthropology used anthropometric variables to test associations among body types, body characteristics, and diseases. Today there is a renewed interest in anthropometry, ratios and equations derived from anthropometric measurements, and longitudinal changes in body measurements, for evaluating health and understanding disease in individuals and populations.

Criterion variables were FFB and %FAT estimated using multicomponent equations developed for children. BIA measurements (resistance and reactance) were found to be reliable.

This paper provides an overview of practical methods for assessing body composition of children, adults, and older adults. Three methods commonly used in field and clinical settings are skinfolds, bioelectrical impedance analysis, and anthropometry. For each method, standardized testing procedures, sources of measurement error, recommendations for technicians, and selected prediction equations for each age category are presented. The skinfold method is appropriate for estimating body fat of children (6–17 years) and body density of adults (18–60 years) from diverse ethnic groups. Likewise, bio

Abstract:

Plasma creatine kinase (CK) activity and lean body mass (LBM) (by anthropometry) were measured in 120 women (20–82 years) and 70 men (20–82 years). Plasma CK activity and LBM was higher in men than in women. In men plasma CK activity was significantly correlated (product moment correlation coefficient) with LBM and negatively with age. In women plasma CK activity was significantly correlated with age. Partial correlation coefficient calculation showed a significant correlation between plasma CK and LBM both in men and in women. We conclude that in healthy subjects the plasma CK activity is rel

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: to compare the body composition of patients undergoing hemodialysis with that of healthy individuals using different methods. METHOD: cross-sectional study assessing male individuals using anthropometric markers, electrical bioimpedance and vector analysis. RESULTS: the healthy individuals presented larger triceps skinfold and arm circumference (p<0.001). The bioimpedance variables also presented significant higher values in this group. Significant difference was found in the confidence interval of the vector analysis performed for both the patients and healthy individuals (p<

Abstract:

1. Body fat, fat-free mass and total body water of ten lactating women were estimated from deuterium-dilution spaces and from skinfold thickness measurements. Deuterium-dilution spaces were calculated from the 6 h (equilibration) and zero-time (extrapolation) deuterium enrichments in saliva, urine, human milk and breath water vapour samples.2. The deuterium spaces obtained by equilibration were statistically larger than those obtained by extrapolation. Isotope dilution spaces derived from deuterium enrichments in saliva, breath water vapour and human milk did not differ with the exception of t

Abstract:

Anthropometric is a method of body mass composition calculation resulting either roughly or directly (detail). BMI is an anthropometric method performed by measuring body weight and height to classify one’s body mass index. BIA is an anthropometric methods used to asses body mass composition, including water mass, musculoskeletal, and mainly body fat mass. The purpose of this study isto find the relationship between the two methods of anthropometry and see the comparasion of body mass composition resulted by the two methods.

Thepurposeof the study was to identify anthropometric factors determining the state of bone mineral density in lumbar vertebrae in postmenopausal women.Material and methods. Anthropometry was used to determine the component composition of the body in 191 postmenopausal women aged 43 to 84 years. Bone mineral density of lumbar vertebrae was assessed by x-ray densitometry. Correlation analysis was carried out to identify the relationship between the studied parameters.Results. The frequency of occurrence of mineral density disorders of lumbar vertebrae was 63.4%, including osteopenia – 40.3%, os

Abstract:

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 range (4·3–24·8) is great. Our study shows that BMI is not a good measure of fatness. Age and duration of illness were not related to body fat. Percentage fat was found to be different (t 2·76, P <0·

Abstract:

Body composition in elite rugby union athletes is routinely assessed using surface anthropometry, which can be utilized to provide estimates of absolute body composition using regression equations. This study aims to assess the ability of available skinfold equations to estimate body composition in elite rugby union athletes who have unique physique traits and divergent ethnicity. The development of sport-specific and ethnicity-sensitive equations was also pursued. Forty-three male international Australian rugby union athletes of Caucasian and Polynesian descent underwent surface anthropometry
