Body composition in pregnancy

Seminars in Perinatology, 1996
Concern over the influence of pregnancy-related alterations in hydration has prompted questions regarding the accuracy of using standard methods of determining body composition. We sought to investigate whether differences exist between body composition determined at 30 weeks and 39 weeks of gestation and postpartum, when measured by both bioelectrical

BODY COMPOSITION IN ACROMEGALY

Clinical Endocrinology, 1989
SUMMARYTotal body water (TBW) and potassium (TBK) were measured in untreated acromegalic patients seen between 1956 and 1984 and the results were compared to values predicted from height (BH), weight (BW), age and sex, using data from a large number of healthy subjects (n= 476). Normal body weight for each patient (BWnorm) was predicted from BH and sex,

Body Composition and Aging

2012
Body composition in older adults can be assessed using simple, convenient but less precise anthropometric methods to assess (regional) body fat and skeletal muscle, or more elaborate, precise and costly methods such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.

The composition of body tissues

The British Journal of Radiology, 1986
A reassessment of the composition data given by ICRP (1975) has been completed, augmented with results from appropriate recent studies. The water, lipid, protein, carbohydrate and ash contents, together with elemental compositions, mass and electron densities are given here for 56 body tissues.

Analysing body composition as compositional data: An exploration of the relationship between body composition, body mass and bone strength

Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 2020
Human body composition is made up of mutually exclusive and exhaustive parts (e.g. %truncal fat, %non-truncal fat and %fat-free mass) which are constrained to sum to the same total (100%). In statistical analyses, individual parts of body composition (e.g.

Body Composition in Adolescence

1978
Anatomists showed many years ago that some organs grow at rates that differ from that of the body as a whole. In recent decades we have witnessed the development of techniques that permit the assessment of certain features of body composition in the living subject.

Perspectives on body composition

Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 2002
Herein modern body composition techniques are described, and the uses to which they are put are set forth. They have increased our knowledge of the human growth process as well as the effects of disease, hormones, and nutrition. In essence they provide for a bloodless dissection of the human body.

Body composition at the bedside

European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 1997
To evaluate the use of an inexpensive hand-held bioelectric impedance analysis machine which measures lean body mass, by technical comparisons against standard instruments and techniques (an in-house bioelectric impedance machine and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry), and by performing body composition analyses in groups of potentially malnourished ...

Body Composition and Aging [PDF]

open access: possibleNutrition Reviews, 2009
he changes in composition of the aging T human body is of both gerontologic and geriatric interest and reflects genetic factors and environmental factors such as physical activity, nutrition, and disease, as well as the normal aging processes. In the study of normal aging, that is, aging per se, long-term trends in body compartments are important.

Body Composition of Schizophrenics

Archives of General Psychiatry, 1965
MANY INVESTIGATORS have suggested that a relationship exists between body physique and personality or personality disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, and homosexuality. 1-4 The corollary of this notion has been the hypothesis that personality or personality disorders may be involved in the pathogenesis of disease; for example, coronary artery ...
