Definicja i opis
EN
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is one of the most widely used methods to assess body composition. A densitometer scanner device is used to scan the entire body or specific body sites such as the hip, spine, and limbs. DXA uses X-ray energy to measure body fat, muscle, and bone mineral and as a result, a small amount of radiation is delivered to the body during the DXA scan procedure. The results from a whole body DXA scan can be used to estimate total mass (gm), bone mineral content (BMC) (gm), bone area (cm2), bone mineral density, fat mass, lean mass excluding BMC (gm), lean mass including BMC (gm), and percent body fat (%). DXA scanner manufacturers produce special software that is used to analyze the DXA scan data to produce body composition results. Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Health Statistics, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2001-2002) DXA file documentation. URL: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhanes/dxa/dxx_b.pdf (Accessed January 22, 2009). The study of body composition looks at the differences in bone, muscle, organs, and fat. Body composition analysis is an indicator of overall health as determined by a person's percentage of fat and lean mass. Body composition tests are designed to give a "whole picture" of the body. This information is useful to help develop nutrition and exercise programs to benefit the individual.
