Body composition in older community-dwelling adults with hip fracture: portable field methods validated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry [PDF]
, 2012 Ageing is associated with weight loss and subsequently poor health outcomes. The present study assessed agreement between two field methods, bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS) and corrected arm muscle area (CAMA) for assessment of body ...

Dual Photon Absorptiometry: Validation of Mineral and Fat Measurements [PDF]
, 1990 Photons passing through human tissue undergo attenuation in relation to the specific chemical substances with which they interact. Soft tissues, consisting largely of water and organic compounds, reduce photon flux to a lesser extent than bone mineral, which contains the intermediate-Z element calcium.

The Role of Calcium in Osteoporosis [PDF]
Calcium requirements may vary throughout the lifespan. During the growth years and up to age 25 to 30, it is important to maximize dietary intake of calcium to maintain positive calcium balance and achieve peak bone mass, thereby possibly decreasing the ...
