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.
The aim of this longitudinal study was to explore temporal patterns of physical activity (PA) and adiposity in Spanish adolescents. Eighty healthy adolescents were followed over a 2-year period (42 girls and 38 boys). A PA score was estimated using the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A).
