Objective To investigate methodological aspects in body fat (BF) measurements in 7-to-10-
year-old children. Study design Systematic review of the literature. Methods The studies …

Results: In the final models, R 2 ranged from 0.664 to 0.845 in males and from 0.748 to
0.809 in females. R 2 was not notably improved by development of equations within, rather …

Objective: To refine the diagnosis of childhood obesity by creating new sex-specific centile
curves for body fat and to base these references on a simple and affordable method that …

Methods: Body composition estimates using anthropometry and DXA were assessed and
compared at 6, 12 and 18 months in a cohort of 137 infants enrolled at birth. Results: Fat …

Objective. To compare body composition assessment by bioelectrical impedance analysis
(BIA) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in a multiethnic sample of adolescent …

BACKGROUND: Fan beam dual energy x‐ray absorptiometry (FB DXA) has recently been
validated for the measurement of body composition in small subjects. This study represents …

OBJECTIVE: To examine the accuracies of body mass index (BMI) and skinfold thicknesses

The clinical utility of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurement requires
appropriate normative values, designed to be diverse with respect to age, gender and ethnic …

study has compared anthropometric measurements to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry …

Dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurements have been shown to provide
useful information on bone mineral status in young pediatric subjects. The purpose of this …
