Measurements: Body composition and trunk fat by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry- DXA; lipid profile, blood pressure and pubertal stage were also assessed.
In vivo body fat composition of trunk, legs, and arms of mice was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (Lunar Prodigy Advance; GE Healthcare).
In contrast, different properties (e.g., reactivity, HHV or activation energy) were obtained, which may be attributed to a difference between tree parts composition (branches, trunk, fruit…).
From the total body scan, we measure lean mass and fat mass body composition, including total body, trunk, arm, legs, and android and gynoid regions of interest.
For perceived child weight, the best model included parent age, children's laboratory intake of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and palatable buffet items, and two measures of child body composition (ratio of trunk fat-to-total fat and ratio of leg fat-to-total fat).
Just under one-fifth — 19.1% — of Los Angeles Unified fifth-graders performed in "the Healthy Fitness Zone" in all six areas tested: aerobic capacity, body composition, abdominal strength, trunk extensor..
There was no interaction between the maternal intervention and any of the remaining anthropometric measurements (weight, BMI) or body composition (FMI, LMI, trunk fat) variables on child blood pressure (data not shown).
Previous studies have used this tool to obtain central body fat composition in the trunk [ 19].
There were no group effects for any changes in trunk composition.
The trunk composition, as measured by CT, was analyzed using MIPAV Medical Image Processingg, Analysis and Visualization) v.7.0.0 software (NIH Center for Information Technology, Bethesda, MD, USA).
