A new study published on the prestigious Pediatric Research Journal shows that infant morbidity can be predicted more accurately from %fat vs. birth weight. The objective of this study (carried out by Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Australia) was to describe neonatal morbidity associated with low body fat percentage (BF%) and measure the number of undernourished neonates defined by BF% and...
A new peer-reviewed article published on the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reporting a research study on body composition in a cohort of Ethiopian infants. The aim of the study was to develop reference data for fat mass and fat free mass from birth to 6 months of age in an African population. Almost 200 babies were tested with the PEA POD in this study with over 2000 test performed...
A new study by the University of Alberta has been published recently summarizing ongoing scientific research activity in infant body composition using the PEA POD. The objective of this study was to summarize published evidence and ongoing research activity in infant body composition using the PEA POD infant body composition system. All published studies using the PEA POD were identified and...
A new white paper from COSMED shows main scientific evidence on the importance of body composition measurement in infants. There is an increasing interest in the association between nutritional status during early infancy and childhood with the increased risks for adverse health effects as adults. Infant body composition has been in the last years increasingly identified by the research...
A meta-analysis of scientific studies has been published on the prestigious Pediatrics Journal showing the importance of body composition monitoring in preterm infants. The study is a meta-analysis of studies published to date presenting body composition results in preterm infants at term equivalent age (TEA), which is the age at which they would have been born had they not been premature.
