DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The modern era of human body composition research involves new methodology development, compartment modeling, and its translation to understanding growth, aging, and disease processes. Whether it is the study of childhood or adult obesity, weight gain or loss, metabolic function or disease, an understanding of which body components are of clinical relevance is important. The proposed 2.5 day symposium with its theme "Body Composition & Metabolic Function Across the Lifespan" will convene most of the leading scientists in their respective fields who are involved in body composition research. The objectives of this symposium include: the dissemination of up-to-date information on new and potential future developments in the field of body composition research with clinically relevant end-points; the dissemination of research findings arising from recent scientific investigations that demonstrate the importance/utility of measuring body composition for the understanding of clinically important questions; a review of the advances made in the last 3 years in body composition research, with particular emphasis on translational aspects of the advances (with application to clinical research-growth, aging, obesity, and diseases); encouragement of young investigators to attend to further the objective of training new investigators in the field; and publication of the conference proceedings in a journal stressing the important issues discussed.

描述（由申请人提供）： 现代人体成分研究涉及新方法的开发、区室建模及其转化为理解生长、衰老和疾病过程。无论是对儿童或成人肥胖、体重增加或减少、代谢功能或疾病的研究，了解哪些身体成分具有临床相关性都很重要。拟议的为期 2.5 天的研讨会主题为“整个生命周期的身体成分和代谢功能”，将聚集各自领域中参与身体成分研究的大多数领先科学家。本次研讨会的目标包括： 传播有关具有临床相关终点的身体成分研究领域新的和潜在的未来发展的最新信息；传播最近的科学研究结果，证明测量身体成分对于理解临床重要问题的重要性/实用性；回顾过去三年在身体成分研究方面取得的进展，特别强调这些进展的转化方面（应用于临床研究——生长、衰老、肥胖和疾病）；鼓励年轻调查员参加，以进一步实现培训该领域新调查员的目标；并在期刊上出版会议记录，强调所讨论的重要问题。
