Pregnancy has been documented to be a state of marked enhancement of bone turnover [ 21], during which a significant loss in BMD could be clearly demonstrated by direct methods, including standard dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) [ 11, 22] and quantitative ultrasound [ 13- 16].
Future work should focus on strategies to identify individuals most likely to benefit from intervention, for example, by encouraging the routine use of established simple methods, including the measurement of waist circumference and the use of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) where available, to identify those likely to have high levels of IAF.
Well-known methods include assessments that might be more or less complex, such as the skinfolds, bioelectrical impedance, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), hydrodensitometry, neutron activation analysis in vivo, total body potassium, nuclear magnetic resonance, and, more recently, computed tomography.
Other methods include food deprivation.
Would those older methods include a warrant?
Such methods include zooming out.
These methods include computer modeling.
These methods include non-invasive techniques.
Other methods include : : Check the edges.
In order of increasingly energetic radiation, the types of absorptiometry are radiowave absorptiometry (called nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry), microwave absorptiometry (including electron spin resonance spectrometry), thermal absorptiometry (thermal analysis), infrared absorptiometry, ultraviolet-visible absorptiometry, and X-ray absorptiometry.
