Multicompartment body composition analysis in older adults: a cross-sectional study

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Muscle, fat, and bone are three main components of interest in the body composition (BC) field. Several equations to predict BC using anthropometric measurements have been developed to determine FM and fat-free mass (FFM). In comparisons between DXA-measured FM and MRI-measured adipose_tissue the associations were also high and significant (r=0.99; p ≤ 0.001) for older women. The current state-of-the-art method for BC measurement in the four compartments model (4-C models) at the molecular level, as it includes the evaluation of the main FFM components, thus . . .
