Anthropometry and methods of body composition measurement for research and field application in the elderly

Article Abstract:

The need to take account of subject age when developing body composition component forecasting models that are applied among elderly people is discussed. It is important to recognize that body composition differences may exist between cultures, races and countries.

Multi-component body composition models: recent advances and future directions

Article Abstract:

An overview of studies of body multi-composition models is presented and directions for future research are outlined. Existent models are discussed and evaluated, including the atomic, the molecular, and the tissue system levels of body composition.

Body composition in children and adults by air displacement plethysmography

Article Abstract:

The air displacement plethysmography (ADP) system could be an accurate and practical way of quantifying body fat in children in the same way as it currently does in adults, according to a cross-sectional evaluation of healthy children and adults. The ADP system could be particularly valuable in work with children because it allows body composition estimates to be obtained without the need for water submersion or exposure to ionizing radiation. The insignificant %fat error by ADP compared with the DXA method would not be important for evaluation of the individual child, especially in the clinical environment.
