Prediction of Visceral Adipose Tissue Using Air Displacement Plethysmography in Children

OBJECTIVE: To determine the ability of air displacement plethysmography (ADP) to predict visceral adipose tissue (VAT) volume in children. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Fifty-five (33 boys/22 girls) white children 13 to 14 years old were studied. Anthropometric measures were collected for body ma...

Description
Summary:OBJECTIVE: To determine the ability of air displacement plethysmography (ADP) to predict visceral adipose tissue (VAT) volume in children. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Fifty-five (33 boys/22 girls) white children 13 to 14 years old were studied. Anthropometric measures were collected for body mass, stature, BMI, and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and body fat percentage was estimated from triceps and subscapular skinfolds, bioelectrical impedance analysis, and ADP. VAT volume was determined using magnetic resonance imaging, using a multiple slice protocol at levels L1 to L5. RESULTS: Boys had significantly (p
