身体成分的测量比身体尺寸的测量更复杂。尽管身高和体重的研究为理解生长过程提供了有价值的信息，但两者都只提供尺寸数据。身高是线性测量值，而体重是体重测量值；因此，它们提供的有关身体成分的信息有限。因此，人们在量化人体体内成分方面投入了大量精力（Brožek 和 Henschel，1961；Brožek，1963a，1965；Garn，1961、1963；美国国家科学院，1968；Bergner 和 Lushbaugh，1967；Malina，1969；Forbes，1978）。本报告概述了测量身体成分的选定方法，特别强调了生长研究中使用的方法。
Measurement of the body’s composition is more complex than the measurement of body size. Although studies of height and weight provide valuable information in understanding growth processes, both provide only dimensional data. Height is a linear measurement, while weight is a measure of body mass; as such they provide limited information about body composition. Hence, much effort has been expended in quantifying the body’s composition in vivo (Brožek and Henschel, 1961; Brožek, 1963a, 1965; Garn, 1961, 1963; National Academy of Sciences, 1968; Bergner and Lushbaugh, 1967; Malina, 1969; Forbes, 1978). This report offers an overview of selected methods for measuring body composition, with specific emphasis on those used in growth studies.
