[Dual photon absorptiometry in algodystrophy].
Biphotonic absorptiometry has begun to demonstrate its usefulness in the field of osteoporosis. In algodystrophy, the radiology and the degree of isotopic fixation suggest a bone disorder, although both techniques are unable to objectively quantify it.

Reduced sleep duration affects body composition, dietary intake and quality of life in obese subjects. [PDF]
Purpose Sleep duration has emerged as a crucial factor affecting body weight and feeding behaviour. The aim of our study was to explore the relationship among sleep duration, body composition, dietary intake, and quality of life (QoL) in obese ...

Body composition in older community-dwelling adults with hip fracture: portable field methods validated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry [PDF]
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]
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.
