Assessment of body composition by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, skinfold thickness and creatinine kinetics in chronic kidney disease patients
(Oxford Univ Press, 2004-09-01)Background. Finding a method that can be routinely used to assess body composition with minimum error is still a challenge for those who work with chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. This study aimed to compare the value ...

Classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency: a cross-sectional study of factors involved in bone mineral density
(Springer, 2003-01-01)Glucocorticoids are essential in the treatment of patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). the opposite actions of glucocorticoids and androgens in bone mass achievement justify a study of bone mineral density ...

Peak VO2 correction for fat-free mass estimated by anthropometry and DEXA
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2001-11-01)Purpose: Anthopometric (ANTHRO) and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometric (DEXA) estimates of total body and leg fat-free masses (FFM) were obtained in 77 randomly selected sedentary men and women, aged 20-80: intermethod ...

Relationship between bone mineral density, leptin and insulin concentration in Brazilian obese adolescents
(Springer, 2009-09-01)Despite the epidemic of adolescent obesity, the effect of obesity and hormones on bone mineral accrual during growth is poorly understood. Studies using dual-energy X-ray to examine the effect of obesity on bone mass in ...
