An extremely important study has been published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition providing body composition reference curves for preterm infants. The objective of this study was to create ADP-based body composition reference curves for preterm infants that approximate, as close as is feasible in live-born infants near birth, the body composition of the in utero fetus from 30 to 36...
New research from the Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin presents an explorative, single-centre, observational, study assessing body composition (BC) in heart failure (HF) patients using a multi-method, two-compartment approach. The aim of the present study is to assess the association of simple anthropometric indices such as BMI and WHR with FM in a real-life sample of HF patients and to...
A new study determines, using ADP as a validation method, whether any of the anthropometric indices used historically or currently accurately predict body composition in infants. Body composition is a key metric for assessing nutrition in preterm infants. In many neonatal intensive care units body composition is estimated using anthropometric indices which mathematically combine body weight...
The ECSS Journal (EJSS, European Journal of Sport Science) published a new article examining the best methods to measure body composition on paralympic athletes. The study objectives were to describe the body composition of participants in three distinct Paralympic sports and to compare the values of body density and estimated body fat obtained from the Paralympic athletes on the National Team...
A new study on the International Journal of Pediatrics and Child Health examines the association between early infant feeding and childhood adiposity. The objective for this study was to assess the relationship between infant feeding (exclusive breastfeeding, mixed feeding and exclusive formula feeding) and childhood adiposity among pre-school children. The main hypotesis was that children who...
