But normal BMI (18.5–24.9) could give a false impression of healthy, normal, weight and so underestimate the prevalence of body composition impairments, especially in older adults. The normal range of BMI is also an ethnicity-related parameter and ranges might be different in some other ...
Body compositionDual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometryFat massLean massReference rangesReference ranges for lean mass (LM) and fat mass (FM) are essential in identifying soft tissue disorders; however, no such reference ranges exist for the most commonly used Hologic dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (...
The aim was to explore differences in metabolic profile, body composition, physical capacity, and inflammation between patients hospitalized with CAP caused by different etiology. Methods A prospective study of Danish patients hospitalized with CAP caused by SARS-CoV-2, influenza, or bacteria. Fat (...
WhatisBMI?LearnAboutNormalRangesforMenandWomen Body Mass Index, or BMI, is a health indicator used to determine whether you’re underweight, a healthy weight, overweight, or obese when your weight is compared to your actual height. This indicator has been used for generations and has largely re...
Our goal was to assess the hydration status of a Spanish group of aeronautical military men and to determine the association of hydration status with body composition and anxiety. Methods A total of 188 men were evaluated through a validated hydration questionnaire, anthropometric and biochemical ...
The result is used to determine if that individual isobese, overweight, normal weight or underweightdepending on where they fall within the BMI category ranges. 1.1 How is BMI Calculated? The body mass index formula is easy to determine. It’s a simple calculation that takes into account your...
Other factors like age, body composition, and more also make a difference. A fitness tracker can provide a clearer estimate of calories burned, but you can still use this number as a baseline. Your {{response.name}} {{(response.ranges[response.testResultIndex].displayStatus) ? response....
Body composition calculated using whole-body bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), almost invariably with height (H) and often with weight (W), can help patient management and predict clinical outcomes. This study aimed to examine the merits of this approach compared with simple anthropometry (W+...

Increasing attention has been drawn on the assessment of body composition phenotypes, since the distribution of soft tissue influences cardio-metabolic risk. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a validated technique to assess body composition. European reference values from population-based cohorts...
