Background Body composition indicators provide a better guidance for growth and nutritional status of the infants. This study was designed to (1) measure the body composition of the Sri Lankan infants using a reference method, the 18O dilution method; (2) calculate the body fat content of the infants using published skinfold prediction equations; and (3) evaluate the applicability of the skinfold...
To validate two practical methods of body composition measurement, total body water percent (TBW) was measured using a) anthropometric equations, b) bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and c) deuterium oxide (D 2 O) dilution (reference method) in 10 children (7 boys, 3 girls) from among urban poor in Kolkata, India (age : 8 m to 60 m, mean +/- SD = 29.0 +/- 18.82). The deuterium dilution...
