Upper extremity and trunk body segment parameters are affected by BMI and sex
Abstract
Although body mass index (BMI) relates to body segment parameters (BSPs), unknowns persist over whether: 1) BSPs relate to BMI group classifications, 2) sex influences BMI/BSP relationships, and 3) simple anthropometric measures sufficiently predict BSPs. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans and anthropometric measures were obtained from 76 participants (33M, 43F) of varying body composition. Trunk, neck and head (TNH), arm, forearm and …
