Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a UK-based prediction model for estimating fat-free mass in children and adolescents across 19 countries outside the UK.
- Involving 5,693 participants aged 4 to 15, the model exhibited strong predictive performance, with R values over 75% in all countries and good calibration of predicted versus actual fat-free mass.
- The researchers found minimal variation in model performance based on gender, age, ethnicity, or national income, and they adjusted the model for different countries to enhance accuracy for future use.
Introduction: the deuterium dilution technique is a reference method for measuring body composition in children. However, to our knowledge, there is no report on how some of the procedures used affect the measurement of total body water (TBW) and other estimates.
Objective: to analyze whether considering fluid intake and urine excretion during the test affects the final TBW, fat mass and fat free mass results.
