Anthropometry methods

Several techniques have been devised for measuring fat and its distribution in living humans. Terms used to refer to fat s distribution include subcutaneous fat, visceral fat, android (male type) obesity, and gynoid (female type) obesity. The science of measurement of body size, weight, and proportions is called anthropometry. Hence, the following techniques are methods of anthropometry. [Pg.382]

Beyond the semantic aspects, the use of a free choice method is quite interesting when one knows that assessors cannot perceive the same sensations. In the automotive industry, this situation occnrs when anthropometry plays a role in the perception. How do we ask an 80 kg-man to have the same sensations as a 55 kg-woman in an antomotive seat The example on roll and lateral snpport demonstrates that this can be a huge asset for External Preference Mapping, when there are several clusters of consumers with different perceptions. [Pg.451]

Body composition is a more sensitive indicator of infant nutritional status than measures of size. Depending on the method used, measurements can provide the mass of lean tissue, fat tissue, total body water, and bone. Methods vary greatly in terms of invasiveness, feasibility, cost, technology, need for trained personnel, accuracy, reliability, and precision. The most feasible methods for assessing infant body composition include anthropometry (e.g., skinfold measurements), dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and isotope dilution. A recent review concluded that for intergroup comparisons, skinfold thicknesses were useful, but for individual infant assessments, DEXA was recommended (Koo, 2000). In the absence of reference data based on a large sample of infants, the interpretation of body... [Pg.107]

TBW derived from Watson (1980) anthropometries formula with TBW from the gold standard, deuterium oxide dilution method in healthy Colomhian young females. The purpose was to determine whether either or both of these clinic based measurement methods would allow for the accurate assessment of body composition. Subjects underwent multifrequency BIA measurements, on the dominant side of the body, using an 800-pA and 50-kHz alternating current with a standardized tetrapolar technique. The BIA variables measured were R50 and XC50. The results show that TBW by anthropometry had a moderate coefficient of determination (r ) and was not statistically different from TBW by D20, however, the Cl were wider than 2 standard deviations (SD). [Pg.53]

Subject s characteristics are shown in Table 1. Table 2 shows the results of the comparison of TBW by deuterium oxide dilution (D2O) against TBW by anthropometry (ANT) and TBW by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) by three complementary methods. [Pg.54]

The results are shghtly more favorable for anthropometry than for BIA, since the percentage mean difference between anthropometry and dilution was almost the half of that with BIA (1.75 vs. 3.15%) and the interindividual variabihty in TBW was smaller than for BIA. However, this indicates that the estimation of the TBW volume calculated by anthropometry and bioimpedance are discordant with respect to that measured by D2O, and both methods were not interchangeable. Similar results were foxmd by de Filter et al. [20]. [Pg.55]
