Abstract (sommario):
Childhood obesity has been increasing rapidly. Previous work investigating body composition in obese children and adolescents has relied primarily on body mass index (BMI), or on measures that assume constant properties of fat-free mass (FFM). This limits our understanding of the effect of treatment. My PhD is divided into three aims. First, I explored differences in body composition between obese and non-obese children using multi-component models. Second, I investigated the effectiveness of two weight-loss programmes (a randomised controlled trial adopting the traffic-light program (TLP), an

Many of the current techniques of body composition assessment are either unsuitable for seriously ill patients or lacking precision.

The purpose of the work described in this thesis was to develop an inexpensive, simple and safe non-invasive electrical technique of body composition assessment.

Nonetheless, birthweight is a crude surrogate of fetal growth and it may be that quantification of body composition, may more accurately identify the “at risk” individual.

Abstract (sommario):
The measurement of total body volume (V) (excluding lung volume) together with total body mass (m) is required in order to determine body density (d = m/V). From this, and using certain simplifying assumptions, it is possible to derive body composition in terms of fat mass (FM) and fat free mass (FFM) for the two-compartment model. The standard method for determining body volume (and hence body composition) is the densitometric (underwater weighing) technique based on Archimedes' principle.
