Journal ArticleDOI
Human body composition: in vivo methods
TL;DR: The associations between the various in vivo methods (densitometry, dilution, bioelectrical impedance and conductance, whole body counting, neutron activation, X-ray absorptiometry, computer tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging) and the five-level multicompartment model of body composition are described, along with the limitations and advantages of each method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body composition during the first 2 years of life: an updated reference.
TL;DR: These normative body composition data provide an updated reference upon which to assess normal growth and nutritional status of pediatric populations representative of mixed feeding groups during the first 2 y of life.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Daily consumption of a combination of prebiotic short- and long-chain inulin-type fructans significantly increases calcium absorption and enhances bone mineralization during pubertal growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone mineral and body composition measurements: cross-calibration of pencil-beam and fan-beam dual-energy X-ray absorptiometers
TL;DR: Compared to total body scans using pencil‐beam and fan‐beam instruments for 33 children and 14 adults, the two DXA technologies can be considered equivalent after using the translational equations provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy requirements during pregnancy based on total energy expenditure and energy deposition
TL;DR: Extra energy intake is required by healthy pregnant women to support adequate gestational weight gain and increases in BMR, which are not totally offset by reductions in AEE.
