Dietary Protein and Exercise Have Additive Effects on Body Composition during Weight Loss in Adult Women

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a diet with higher protein and reduced carbohydrates combined with exercise additively improved body composition during weight loss, whereas the effects on blood lipids differed between diet treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo validation of whole body composition estimates from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.

TL;DR: It is concluded that body composition estimates from DEXA are accurate compared with those from a four-component model in young adults who vary in gender, race, athletic status, body size, musculoskeletal development, and body fatness.
Journal ArticleDOI

The relation of adiposity to cognitive control and scholastic achievement in preadolescent children

TL;DR: The present study provides an empirical basis for the negative relationship between adiposity and scholastic performance and suggests that adiposity is negatively and selectively associated with cognitive control in preadolescent children.
Journal ArticleDOI

A technique to assess body composition and sarcopenia using DXA: application for an obese population.

TL;DR: Summing DXA scans is a valid method for determining the risk for sarcopenic obesity and may aid research regarding obesity and risk for disability.
