Normalising lean body weight

Prediction of lean body mass from height and weight.

Lean body mass, calculated from the measurement of total body water using antipyrine space, was estimated in 29 males and 27 females. It was found that the lean body mass could be predicted from the height and weight, and formulae for both males and females have been produced with multiple correlation coefficients (r) of 0.96 and 0.83 respectively.

Body composition assessment in lean and normal-weight young women.

Using percentage body fat (BF%) from a three-compartment (3C) model (body density from underwater weighing (UWW) and bone-mineral mass from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as a criterion, we studied the accuracy of UWW, DXA, two skinfold equations, and two bioimpedance (BIA) equations. Thirty-four women (aged 16-20 years) with BF% 13.5-31.1 volunteered. UWW underestimated BF% by -0.5 BF%...

Influence of Body Weight and Body Fat on Appetite of “Normal” Lean and Obese Rats ‡

At least three theories have been advanced to account for the phenomenon of appetite regulation. Brobeck1 has suggested that eating is related to the homeostasis of body temperature; Mayer considers satiety and hunger to be under the influence of a glucostatic mechanism,2 Kennedy has presented evidence that inversely correlates appetite with body fat content.8 All these proposals invoke the cen...

Lean Body Mass Can Predict Lung Function in Underweight and Normal Weight Sedentary Female Young Adults

BACKGROUND A previous cross-sectional study found reduced lung function among over weight and obese students in Zanjan city. However, there is no reliable evidence about the respiratory function of underweight and normal weight students. The objective of this study was to evaluate lung function and develop prediction equations in underweight and normal weight female young adults residing in Sol...
