Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, and the conicity index as screening tools for high trunk fat mass, as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, in children aged 3–19 y
TL;DR: Waist circumference provides a simple yet effective measure of truncal adiposity in children and adolescents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validity of body mass index compared with other body-composition screening indexes for the assessment of body fatness in children and adolescents
Zuguo Mei,Laurence M. Grummer-Strawn,Angelo Pietrobelli,Ailsa Goulding,Michael I. Goran,William H. Dietz +5 more
TL;DR: For children and adolescents aged 2-19 y, the performance of BMI-for-age is better than that of RI- for-age in predicting underweight and overweight but is similar to that of weight-For-height.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone mineral density and body composition in boys with distal forearm fractures: A dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry study☆☆☆
TL;DR: The results support the view that low BMC, aBMD, and BMAD values and high adiposity are associated with increased risk of distal forearm fracture in boys and are a concern, given the increasing levels of obesity in children today.
Journal ArticleDOI
More Broken Bones: A 4‐Year Double Cohort Study of Young Girls With and Without Distal Forearm Fractures
TL;DR: It is concluded that previous forearm fracture, low total body aBMD, low spinal BMAD, and high body weight each increase risk of new fractures within 4 years in young girls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone mineral density in girls with forearm fractures.
Ailsa Goulding,R. Cannan,Sheila M. Williams,Elspeth Gold,Rachael W. Taylor,N. J. Lewis-Barned +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded thatLow bone density is more common throughout the skeleton in girls with forearm fractures than in those who have never broken a bone, supporting the view that low bone density may contribute to fracture risk in childhood.
