Body mass prediction from femoral volume and sixteen other femoral variables in the elderly
Our body mass estimation equations for elderly individuals are relevant since relatively low correlations are recurrent in studies using younger individuals of known body mass. However, age, sex, lifestyle, and skeleton considerations of studied populations can provide information about the relevance of the body mass estimation, which is dependent on the BMI classification and the proportion of adipose tissue. Our general considerations can be us…
Accuracy and concordance of anthropometry for measuring regional fat distribution in adults aged 20–55 years
Objectives : This study aimed to assess the accuracy and concordance of anthropometrically derived prediction equations for the estimation of regional fat mass (FM) distribution. Methods : Sixty‐two white males and 50 females with a large range of age (20−55 years) and BMI (16.6−33.4 kg/m 2 ) were included. Whole body dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans were acquired and anthropometric prediction equations for regional FM were developed …
Quality Control, Accuracy, and Prediction Capacity of Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry Variables and Data Acquisition
The acquisition of soft tissue measurements, fat (chemical) or adipose tissue (morphological) quantities, is essential in clinical research and nutritional status and its associated health risks. This has led to a proliferation of methods for the in-vivo determination of body composition. None of the indirect in-vivo approaches to estimate body adipose tissue has been validated against direct dissection data except for the skinfold.Since the deve…
Waist‐to‐hip ratio and adipose tissue distribution
The waist‐to‐hip ratio (WHR) reflects the relative distribution of adipose tissue in the human body. However, whether this is due to the musculoskeletal structures of the waist and hip or the overlying subcutaneous adipose tissue has been disputed. We measured waist and hip girths in 11 male and 11 female cadavers, aged 55–94 years, before and after complete removal of skin and subcutaneous adipose tissue. Girths measured following removal of sub…
Human body composition
Although body composition analysis is popular, dissection data are sparse and sometimes difficult to access. Published data that include the weights of skin, adipose tissue, muscle, and bone, along with body weight, are reviewed. The 31 men and 20 women include 34 cadavers from three separate dissection studies in Brussels, 12 from 19th century reports, and 5 from the United States. The age range was 16-94y. Men differed from women in that they h…
Effects of skin thickness and skinfold compressibility on skinfold thickness measurement
Variability in both skin thickness and skinfold compressibility affects the relationship between the skinfold caliper reading at a particular site on the body and the actual adipose thickness at that site, thus inducing error in the estimation of body fatness. To investigate this variability, skinfold thickness by caliper and incised depth of subcutaneous adipose tissue were measured at 13 skinfold sites in 6 male and 7 female unembalmed cadavers…
