儿童身体成分的评估具有更大的意义，因为需要研究儿童和青年中肥胖的流行率，需要更好地记录身体肥胖的跟踪和遗传学，需要将儿童时期的脂肪模式与成人的脂肪模式联系起来，以及需要评估特定人群中肥胖率随时间的变化。本文综述了估计儿童和青少年身体成分的方法。强调使用体重指数、人体测量、身体密度和生物电阻抗方法，以及使用多组分模型对新方法进行验证研究的必要性。本文还探讨了身体成分与健康相关健身之间的关系。
The assessment of body composition in children has taken on greater significance because of the need to study the prevalence of obesity in children and youth, the need to better document the tracking and genetics of body fatness, the need to relate fat patterning in childhood and fat patterning in adults, and the need to assess changes in the prevalence in obesity over time in a given population. This paper reviews methods of estimating body composition in children and youth. The use of body mass index, anthropometry, body density, and bioelectric impedance methodologies is emphasized, as well as the need to use multicomponent models for validation studies of new methods. Also explored in this article is the relationship between body composition and health related fitness.
