Assessment methods in human body composition
Seon Yeong Lee,Dympna Gallagher +1 more
TL;DR: There is an ongoing need to perfect methods that provide information beyond mass and structure (static measures) to kinetic measures that yield information on metabolic and biological functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The genetic contribution to non-syndromic human obesity
TL;DR: The competing hypotheses about the mechanisms underlying the genetic and physiological basis of obesity are outlined, and the recent explosion of genetic association studies that have yielded insights into obesity are examined, both at the candidate gene level and the genome-wide level.

Effect of puberty on body composition
TL;DR: The effect of puberty on components of human body composition, including adiposity (total body fat, percentage body fat and fat distribution), lean body mass and bone mineral content and density is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preterm Birth and Body Composition at Term Equivalent Age: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
TL;DR: There is a need to determine whether improved nutritional management can enhance lean tissue acquisition, which indicates a need for measures of body composition in addition to routine anthropometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of breastfeeding compared with formula feeding on infant body composition: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TL;DR: Compared with breastfeeding, formula feeding is associated with altered body composition in infancy, and fat mass was higher in formula-fed infants than in breastfed infants.

Statistical methods for assessing agreement between two methods of clinical measurement.
TL;DR: An alternative approach, based on graphical techniques and simple calculations, is described, together with the relation between this analysis and the assessment of repeatability.

Association between postnatal catch-up growth and obesity in childhood: prospective cohort study.
TL;DR: In this contemporary well nourished cohort, catch-up growth was predicted by factors relating to intrauterine restraint of fetal growth, and children who showed catch- up growth between zero and two years were fatter and had more central fat distribution at five years than other children.

Infant Weight Gain and Childhood Overweight Status in a Multicenter, Cohort Study
Nicolas Stettler,Nicolas Stettler,Babette S. Zemel,Shiriki K. Kumanyika,Virginia A. Stallings +4 more
TL;DR: A pattern of rapid weight gain during the first 4 months of life was associated with an increased risk of overweight status at age 7 years, independent of birth weight and weight attained at age 1 year.

Body-composition assessment via air-displacement plethysmography in adults and children: a review.
TL;DR: This review reviewed the principal findings from studies published between December 1995 and August 2001 that compared the BOD POD method with reference methods and summarized factors contributing to the different study findings.
