Description
This text covers the complete range of methods to assess body composition, including dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, electrical impedance, and imaging techniques. For each method the book includes descriptions of underlying assumptions, applicability, equipment, measurement procedures, precision, accuracy and methods of calculation. The book comprises a wide selection of literature on body composition, including research methodology and results.
