肥胖儿童的瘦体重和脂肪。

在全身闪烁计数器中测量肥胖儿童的全身钾，并从该值计算瘦体重，然后通过差值计算脂肪。一系列正常儿童可供比较。
总体脂肪与相对体重、腹围和臀围之间存在良好的相关性，与三头肌皮褶厚度之间存在良好的相关性。
虽然这个系列是一个小系列，但它表明儿童时期有两种类型的肥胖。第一个特征是除了脂肪外，LBM增加，倾向于身高和骨龄提前，并且自婴儿期以来一直超重。第二组显示LBM没有增加;这些受试者往往具有正常的骨龄，具有平均身高，并且大多数在儿童时期变得肥胖。
Measurements of total body potassium in obese children were made in the whole body scintillation counter, and from this value lean body mass was calculated, and then fat by difference. A series of normal children was available for comparison.
There was a good correlation between total body fat and relative body weight, abdominal circumference, and buttocks circumference, and a fair correlation with triceps skin-fold thickness.
Although the series is a small one, it suggests that there are two types of obesity in childhood. The first is characterized by increased LBM in addition to fat, by a tendency to tallness and advanced bone age, and to have been overweight since infancy. The second group shows no increase in LBM; these subjects tend to have a normal bone age, to be of average height, and the majority have become obese during the childhood years.
