| Definition |
Body composition defined most broadly refers to the proportions of fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) or lean body mass (LBM) but also encompasses a related concept of regional body fatness. With an increase in FM or adiposity, there may be changes in the relative distribution of fat, for example, toward visceral or dorsal deposits and away from limb fat. Regional distribution of fat also changes normally with maturation and differentially between sexes; changes that may be aggravated by overweight or obesity. Early identification of patterns of regional fatness that may be associated with risky profiles is also encouraged. Scientific and practical guidance on which protocol may be best suited for a study’s needs are offered here: <a href="http://www.phenxtoolkit.org/toolkit_content/supplemental_info/anthropometrics/additional_info/Body_Composition_Guidance.doc">Body Composition Guidance</a> |
