Methodological agreement between two-compartment body-composition methods in children

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to determine the agreement between techniques of air-displacement plethysmography, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and anthropometry (ANTH, skinfold measures (ADP) to compare body fat percentage (%BF), fat mass and fat-free mass in measuring body-composition in children. The underestimation of %BF by ADP compared to DXA may be a clinically significant magnitude especially when used to confirm a diagnosis of obesity in children.

Physical activity, body fat, and serum C-reactive protein in postmenopausal women with and without hormone replacement

Article Abstract:

A research on 133 postmenopausal women was undertaken to determine whether higher physical activity was associated with lower serum C-reactive protein (CRP), independent of oral hormone replacement therapy (HRT). In conclusion it was found that the association between higher physical activity and lower serum CRP levels were dependent on the lower body fat of the more independent women, yet independent of oral HRT use.

Relationship between plasma leptin levels and body composition parameters measured by different methods in postmenopausal women

Article Abstract:

The effects of body composition that are measured with different measurement errors on fasting plasma leptin level in normal body mass and obese postmenopausal women is examined. It was concluded that different methods of body composition estimation generate different correlations with plasma leptin concentration.
