Usefulness of Bioelectric Impedance and Skinfold Measurements in Predicting Fat-Free Mass Derived from Total Body Potassium in Children

Abstract: University Cl~ildret~'~ Ilospital. Ilci(lc~lhc~r,y, Gcrrtlro~y /F.S., ;\I.G., K.S../ ut~d hr~rcI.ar Rcscw-ch Coltrc~.Kurl.tr~rlrc, Gcrr)lunjv [..I .%.I ABSTRACT. Despite the increasing use of tetrapolar TBK, total body potassium whole-body bioelectric impedance (BI) analysis in the as-CV, coefficient of variation sessment of body composition, its usefulness in estimating RhISE, root mean square error fat-free mass (FFR.1) has not been evaluated in comparison with conventional skinfold anthropometry in child… Show more

“…18 Considered by many to be the 'gold standard' for estimating body fatness, DXA measurements have been limited to the research setting because of their complexity and cost. [19][20][21][22][23] Previous studies have reported significant associations between BMI and DXA 9,24,25 and a recent report in Pima Indian children showed significant relations for both BMI and DXA with blood pressure, lipids and fasting insulin.…”

“…Reilly et al (1996) compared four of these equations for the prediction of FFM in pre-pubertal Caucasian children in whom FFM had been measured by hydrodensitometry. Their ®ndings suggested that the equations by Schaefer et al (1994) and Deurenberg et al (1991) underestimated FFM. Among the four equations, Houtkooper's equation provided the closest estimates of FFM with the narrowest con®dence intervals.…”

“…Several investigators have reported regression equations to predict FFM from BIA in children (Houtkooper et al, 1992;Deurenberg et al, 1991;Schaefer et al, 1994;Cordain et al, 1988). Some of these reports provided age and sex speci®c equations.…”
