Comparison of three techniques for body composition analysis in cystic fibrosis
Abstract
Body composition analysis is an important component of nutritional assessment in cystic fibrosis (CF). No gold standard of measurement exists, and techniques applicable to healthy populations may be unsuitable for CF patients. We assessed lean body mass (LBM) in 12 children with CF by skinfold (SK) measurements, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and dual-photon absorptiometry (DPA) and repeated these measures in 10 subjects 6 mo later.
