Regional Medical Physics Department Freeman Hospital Newcastle upon Tyne.
Aims: To examine body composition in preterm infants.
Methods: Body composition was measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) at hospital discharge, term, 12 weeks, and at 6 and 12 months corrected age in 125 infants (birthweight < or = 1750 g, gestational age < or = 34 weeks).
Results: Body weight derived by DEXA accurately predicted that determined by conventional scales.
