Comparing measurement of internalized weight stigma and body dissatisfaction
Body Image, 2023Respective conceptualizations of internalized weight stigma and body dissatisfaction are distinct; however, strong relationships between measures of these two constructs prompts consideration about if these are truly unique constructs or whether current measurement tools are not adequately capturing their uniqueness.

Discordance between measured weight, perceived weight, and body satisfaction among adolescents
Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 2016To estimate prevalence, trends and persistence of discordance between measured body weight and perceived body weight and body satisfaction, and examine its association with gender, ethnicity, and family income.Using two-wave data from a prospective cohort study of adolescents sampled from Houston metropolitan area, aged 11-17years at baseline (n=4175 ...

Measuring nightly activity, body weight and body weight change rate with a sensor equipped bed
2010 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology, 2010A bed was equipped with four force transducers so that the location of the Center Of Mass (COM) can be computed, when the bed contains a person. The computation of the COM and its alterations in combination with the sum of all measured forces allows to compute the person's position in bed, an activity level, the resulting body weight and the ...

Assessment and adjustment of body weight measures in scanner data
2023USDA, Economic Research Service compares use of self-reported height and weight data available in scanner data with measured height and weight data to calculate body mass index (BMI) of household members and identifies methods for adjusting self-reported data to improve accuracy. The report also includes a comparison of methods for defining the obesity

Relationships between body weight, body measurements and milk yield in Holstein heifers
BSAP Occasional Publication, 1999AbstractFive size traits (body weight, heart girth, hip height, body depth and rump width) and three yield traits (milk, fat and protein) of 7192 heifers were analysed on a monthly and 305-day lactation basis. The additive genetic variation was moderate to high and changed over time.

Estimation of body density and lean body weight from body measurements at high altitude
European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1977Body density and other anthropometric data were obtained on 101 Indian soldiers who were continously staying at high altitude (3920 m) for more than 10 months. Use was made of a human body volumeter, and body density was calculated from observed body weight and volume. Measurements were taken on the body using standard techniques.

Estimation of Minimal Wrestling Weight Using Measures of Body Build and Body Composition
International Journal of Sports Medicine, 1986This study evaluated field methods for establishing minimal body weight in wrestlers based upon estimates of fat-free body weight (FFB): 239 high school wrestlers were measured for height, weight, 13 diameters, 24 circumferences, and 7 skinfolds, as well as for underwater weight to determine body density and resultant FFB.

Giraffe Weight Estimation Using Dissected Leg Weight and Body Measurements
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1977Data from 44 adult giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) showed that leg weight as a percentage of body weight is sufficiently constant to provide regression equations useful for estimating body or carcass weight. Data from 53 giraffes of various ages show that reliable estimates of body weight can be made from linear body measurements, regardless of sex ...

Estimation and modeling of pig body weight using linear body measurements
Ghanaian Journal of Animal Science, 2023Body weight is an essential index used by producers to determine market-ready pigs, and its accu-rate estimation before the finishing stage helps reduce losses in pig production. However, since most pig farms have limited or no access to weighing scales, this study aimed at modeling linear body measurements to estimate pig body weight.
