Abstract: Objective To review the technical aspects of body composition assessment by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and other methods based on the most recent scientific evidence. Materials and methods This Official Position is a result of efforts by the Scientific Committee of the Brazilian Association of Bone Assessment and Metabolism (Associação Brasileira de Avaliação Óssea e Osteometabolismo, ABRASSO) and health care professionals with expertis… Show more

“…Several other methods can be used to estimate body composition, ranging from simple tests, such as waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio 6 , and skinfold thickness 7 , to highly sophisticated techniques. More sophisticated methods, used in research environments, such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), air displacement plethysmography (ADP), ultrasound, and computed tomography, have the greatest validity and reproducibility for body composition assessment 7,8 , and considering accuracy, precision, cost, duration and ability, the goldstandard method to assess body composition is DXA, especially for the evaluation of body fat 9 . Such techniques may not always be feasible because of their high cost and need for complex procedures and equipment.…”
