Body Fat Measurements in Singaporean Adults Using Four Methods
Few studies have been conducted to measure body composition in Asian populations. In this study, we determined the percent body fat (PBF) by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), air-displacement plethysmography (ADP or BOD POD), bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and skinfold (SKF) in 445 healthy Singaporean adults. We observed that the BOD POD, BIA and SKF estimates of PBF were h...
متن کاملComparison of body fat estimation using waist:height ratio using different 'waist' measurements in Australian adults.
The objective of the present study was to determine differences in predicting total and regional adiposity using the waist:height ratio (WHtR) calculated using different 'waist' measurements. Body composition of ninety-five males and 121 female Australian adults (aged 20 years and above) was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The WHtR was calculated using: (1) the narrowest point ...
متن کاملMeasurements of body fat in Indonesian adults: Comparison between a three-compartment model and widely used methods.
Body composition was assessed in Indonesian male (n = 18) and female (n = 23) students using densitometry (underwater weighing), deuterium oxide dilution, skinfold thickness measurements, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and a prediction equation based on the body mass index. From body density and total body water percentage body fat (BF%) was calculated using a three-compartment body com...
متن کاملWholegrain Food Acceptance in Young Singaporean Adults
Previous epidemiological evidence suggests that habitual consumption of whole grains is associated with reduction of disease risk. While wholegrain food consumption appears to be increasing in Singapore, it is still low, with more infrequent consumption noted in younger Singaporeans. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to determine the knowledge of whole grains and barriers to con...
متن کاملPrediction of percentage body fat from anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance in Singaporean and Beijing Chinese.
Body composition was measured in 205 male and female Beijing Chinese and in 148 male and female Singaporean Chinese, age 34 (mean) (range 18-68) years and body mass index (BMI) 22.3 (15.9-38.5) kg/m2. In Beijing Siri's two-compartment model based on densitometry was used as a reference technique and in Singapore Siri's three-compartment model based on densitometry and deuterium oxide dilution w...
