1 Validation of bioimpedance body composition assessment by TANITA BC-418 in 7 years- old children vs. Dual X-ray absorptiometry Veronica Luque on behalf to URV Team 18th November 2012 Milano, 10th Bi-annual Nutrimenthe meeting WG on Anthropometry and Physical Activity

2 Aim Th i f th t k i t lid t TANITA BC 418 f The aim of the present work is to validate TANITA BC-418 for its clinical and epidemiological use to assess body composition in children, having DXA as the reference.

3 Methods Design: Cross sectional validation study Subjects: All children from the Spanish subsample of the EU Childhood Obesity Project, who took in part in the study at 7 years of age, from who both measures of bioimpedance and DXA were available. Outcome measures were: 1. DEXA 2. BIA (BIAoutputs) 3. New predictive equations from BIA (BIAregressions) Total fat & lean mass Trunk fat & lean mass Left arm and left leg fat and lean masses [Kg]. FMI and LMI [Kg/m 2 ]

4 Statistics T-test for repeated measures to test for differences between methods Linear regression models Boodstrap samples to validate new predictive equations Reliability: ICC Consistency: Cronbach alfa Agreement in quartile classification: Kappa Sensibility & specificity to assess children in the highest FMI quartile The agreement between methods was assessed through Bland and Altman plots.

13 Summary & Conclusions: Whole body composition predictions made by internal algorithms of TANITA BC-418, reveal that these are valid for epidemiological use. High reliability and consistency of measures support its use. The prediction of segmental composition is poorer. The use of own predictive equations (including segmental specific anthropometrical t measures) improves significantly ifi the precision of the method (which is strongly supported by the Bland & Altman analyses). Bioimpedance could be a useful technique at the clinical setting to support obesity diagnose and follow up (as shown by the high sensibility and specificity to properly classify children in the 4th FMI quartile)

16 Aim The aim of the present work is to validate body composition The aim of the present work is to validate body composition assessed by anthropometrical methods in children, having DXA as the reference.

17 Methods Design: Cross sectional validation study Subjects: All children from the Spanish subsample of the EU Childhood Obesity Project, who took in part in the study at 7 years of age, from who both measures of anthropometrical evaluation and DXA were available.

18 Methods Outcome measures were: FM (kg) assessed by DXA FM (kg) assessed by anthropometry following three methods, Siri (a) and Deurenberg (b) equations as: Fat mass (kg) = [%Fat mas x weight (kg)] / 100 a) %Fat mass Siri = (4.95 D - 4.5) x 100 D = body density: D = ( x Log 4 skindfolds) for boys under 17y D = ( x Log 4 skindfolds) for girls under 17y b) %Fat mass Deurenberg = [ (age-2)] / D [ (age- 2)] D = body density: Males: D= x Log 4 skindfolds (age x 10-3 ) Females: D= x Log 4 skindfolds (age x 10-3 ) c) FM (Kg) predicted by boodstraped linear regression model

19 Statistics T-test for repeated measures to test for differences between methods Linear regression models Boodstrap samples to validate new predictive equations Reliability: ICC Consistency: Cronbach alfa Agreement in quartile classification: Kappa Sensibility & specificity to assess children in the highest FM quartile The agreement between methods was assessed through Bland and Altman plots.

26 Results: Bland & Altman plots. Agreement between techniques

27 Conclusions: The use of skinfolds is consistent and reliable as compared to DXA to assess fat mass The use of our predictive equation may reduce systematic error

28 Future plans: To perform predictive equations of lean mass and of trunk fat and lean masses

29 Strengths & Limitations: Possible strength Could the predictive equations obtained in the Spanish subsample applied in the future to the whole sample to predict fat mass? Would the use of the new predictive equations help to find differences in fat mass between feeding groups? Limitation: New predictive equations only useful for 7 y-old children
