Evaluation of n-alkanes and their carbon isotope enrichments (δ13C) as diet composition markers [PDF]
Animal, 2011 Plant cuticular n-alkanes have been successfully used as markers to estimate diet composition and intake of grazing herbivores. However, additional markers may be required under grazing conditions in botanically diverse vegetation.

Diet composition and body composition in preschool children [PDF]
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2000 In studies of adult humans and in animal models, dietary intakes of the macronutrients, particularly fat, are related to body composition; however, data on children are more scarce.We sought to determine whether diet composition is related to percentage body fat in children aged 1.5-4.5 y.In 77 preschool children, a 4-d weighed-food record was used to ...

Diet Composition, Anthropometrics, and Mortality Risk
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022 While overeating is considered a cause of the obesity epidemic as quantified by body mass index (BMI), the association of diet with a body shape index (ABSI) and hip index (HI), which are transformations of waist and hip circumference that are independent of BMI and which predict mortality risk, is poorly known.
