“…BIA could be a helpful and acceptable technique for assessing body composition in adolescent ladies attributable to its low value and reduced coaching necessities compared to DXA [32]. In In general, our results are consistent with those reported in several other studies [33,34].…”

Background: Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is the most accurate technique in determining fat percentage but it is unpotable, expensive, unavailable for general applicability. Objective: This study aimed to find the most accurate and easiest technique as alternative to DEXA for quick determination of body fat%. This study examined the accuracy of three models of Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technique (Fat Loss Monitor- Body Composition -Body Fat Analyzer) in determining the body fat percentage with using DEXA as a reference standard. Subject and Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out during the period from (28-9-2017) to (5-4-2018) among a random sample of (53) volunteers female student in Umm Al Qura University from Faculty of Applied Medical Science aged between (20-39 years) from different level of education. All subjects were generally healthy, data was collected through a structured questionnaire compose of three section. Demographic data was collected and anthropometric measurements were evaluated as well as body composition (Only body fat%) using DEXA, body composition monitor, fat loss monitor and body fat analyzer. Results: BMI classification of the total 53 subjects was including 8 healthy females, 17 overfat, 25 obese and 3 underweight. The fat% result from DEXA and body fat analyzer was significant difference at (P < 0.05). Fat percent result from DEXA and Body Composition device was non-significant difference at (P>0.05). The fat% result from DEXA and Fat Loss Monitor device was significant at difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: The most accurate of BIA technique was the Body Composition device compering to DEXA.

“…Exposure to moderate levels of light at biologically appropriate times can influence weight, independent of sleep timing and duration. ElSawy et al 17 noticed that the majority of male and female students have overweight (BMI equal 18-24.9 Kg/m 2 ) with (39% and 55%) respectively, furthermore all osteoporotic male were overweight, meanwhile about 33.3% of female were obese.…”

“…Intensive exercise training can lead to improvements in strength and function in elderly patients who have had hip replacement surgery due to hip fracture. 38 Elsawy et al 17 & Puttapitakpong et al 39 showed that, despite having certain knowledge about osteoporosis, the young women did not seem to have appropriate osteoporosis preventive behaviours. Developing a right attitude towards osteoporosis may be a key determinant to improving health practices in order to prevent osteoporosis.…”

Nutrition is important modifiable factor in the development and maintenance of bone mass and the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Approximately 80-90% of bone mineral content is comprised of calcium and phosphorus. 3 In the diagnostic process, the extent and severity of bone loss are evaluated and secondary forms of bone loss are excluded. A careful diagnostic work-up that includes clinical history, physical examination, laboratory evaluation. 1 ObjectiveTo determine the relationship between body composition and BMD in Saudi adult females in Western Region, KSA. Subjects and methods StudyStudy design is the present cross-sectional descriptive approach. Target populationConvenes sample from students and stuff who attended morning shift (8am-3pm) during the study period through the academic year (2016/17) in Faculty of Applied Medical Sciences. Sample sizeSample consisted of 100 adult females aged of the samples were 19 -45 years old.
