Evaluation of Adult Body Adiposity, Size, and Shape by Stereovision Imaging

摘要: Overweight and obesity status is often categorized by body mass index (BMI), although this not a measurement of fat. Adiposity, especially in the abdominal area, better predictor obesity-related diseases. However, current methods for assessment composition have limitations bulkiness expense. The purpose study was to evaluate stereovision imaging system analysis A sample 105 subjects measured volume using system, as compared air displacement plethysmography hydrodensitometry. Body density calculated from total via imaging, plethysmography, hydrodensitometry with weight. Then fat computed Siri equation, measurements dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Mean did differ significantly (mean differences −0.07 ± 0.17 L, −0.36 0.82 kg, respectively, P > 0.05). Stereovision regional volumes, lengths, circumferences were used develop prediction equation internal cross-validation improved estimation mass. This reduced variation individuals effectiveness system.
