Abstract:Accurate assessment of body composition is essential for evaluating the risk of chronic disease. Access to medical imaging methods is limited due to practical and ethical constraints. 3D body shape, which can be obtained using smartphones, correlates strongly with body composition. However, large-scale datasets containing 3D body shapes with paired anthropometric and metabolic traits are scarce. Here, we present a novel method that fits a 3D body mesh to a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) silhouette whic… Show more
