Dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry spine scans to determine abdominal fat in postmenopausal women
The strong correlation between spine fat fraction and DXA abdominal fat measures make it suitable for further development in postmenopausal chronic disease risk prediction models. Am. J. Hum. Biol. 28:918-926, 2016. © 2016Wiley Periodicals, Inc
Body fatness and risk for elevated blood pressure, total cholesterol, and serum lipoprotein ratios in children and adolescents
BACKGROUND. Recent studies have shown considerable variation in body fatness among children and adolescents defined as obese by a percentile rank for skinfold thickness. METHODS. We examined the relationship between percent body fat and risk for elevated blood pressure, serum total cholesterol, and serum lipoprotein ratios in a biracial sample of 3320 children and adolescents aged 5 to 18 years. Equations developed specifically for children using…
Estimation of total body composition by regional dual photon absorptiometry
The accuracy of estimating total body composition from dual photon absorptiometry (DPA) and the soft tissue attenuation ratio (Rst) from regional scans over the abdomen was investigated in a group (n = 82) of young adult (age = 17–38 years) females with diverse activity histories. Forearm bone mineral content (BMC) was estimated from single photon absorptiometry. Lumbar vertebrae and femur BMC, and trunk (lumbar region) soft tissue composition (R…
Association of bioelectrical resistance with estimates of fat‐free mass determined by densitometry and hydrometry
The relationship of whole‐body electrical resistance (WBR) to fat‐free mass, derived from densitometry (FFM Db ), hydrometry (FFM TBW ), and densitometric fat‐free mass corrected for hydration (FFM D+W ) was investigated in three independent samples (AZ, IL, CA). Subjects included 75 males and 75 females ranging in age from 18 to 32 years. Whole‐body resistive index (WBRI) computed as height 2 /resistance was highly correlated to FFM Db , FFM TBW…
Differences in the subcomponents of fat‐free body in relation to height between black and white children
The individual subcomponents of fat‐free body (FFB) in relation to height were investigated in 131 white (N = 85) and black (N = 46) males (MW, MB) and 108 white (N = 63) and black (N = 45) females (FW, FB), aged 8 to 18 years. Bone mineral content (BM), bone width (BW), and bone mineral index (BMI) were measured using photon absorptiometry; total body water (TBW) was measured by deuterium dilution; body density was measured by hydrostatic weighi…
Concept of chemical immaturity in body composition estimates
This paper estimates the prevalence of obesity in 6–8‐year‐old children, 13–15‐year‐old youth, and 18–19‐old adults by using skinfold data of the National Nutrition and Health Examination Survey. Obesity is defined as above 25% fat in males and above 32% fat in females. Skinfold equations used to estimate the fat cotent at each age were based on a multicompontent approach that used body density, body water, and bone mineral. The prevalence of obe…
Relationship of body composition to somatotype in college men
This study was designed to determine the relation of somatotype to body composition of college-aged men and to test the assumptions of the Heath and Carter approach to the estimation of second component as lean body mass relative to height. Lean body mass was estimated from whole-body 40K spectrometry and from body density. LBM/height accounted for less than one third of the variation in Health and Carter's second component. When lean body mass a…
Relationship of anthropometric dimensions to lean body mass in children
This study is designed to compare the predictability of lean body mass, as measured by whole-body 40K spectrometry, from skinfolds, circumferences and skeletal widths in children 7 to 12 years of age. The specific skinfold sites were back, upper arm, side, waist, abdomen, and calf; the circumference sites were forearm, upper arm (flexed), wrist, thigh, calf, and chest (deflated); skeletal widths included wrist, knee, ankle, elbow, shoulder and hi…
The energy cost of overweight in the United States
We have calculated the total fossil energy equivalent of the food calories saved by reducing the present degree of overweight (2.3 billion pounds for the adult United States population) to optimum body weight and the annual fossil energy reduction once all Americans reached their optimum weight. The energy saved by dieting to reach optimal weight is equivalent to 1.3 billion gallons of gasoline and the annual energy savings would more than supply…
Relationship of body composition to somatotype
The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship in college‐aged women between somatotype using both Sheldon's ('69) and Heath and Carter's ('67) procedures, and body composition, as measured by whole‐body 40 K counting and body density. Sheldon's endomorphy is closely associated with height and weight; Heath and Carter's first component is significantly related to weight and body fatness. Lean body mass (LBM) as a weight or as a percen…
