They suggest that bioimpedance biotest analysis (BIA) is a more accurate method for establishing the likelihood of excess body fat in European, Maori and Pacific Island children. They will biotest present their findings at the New Zealand Nutrition Society Conference, Too Little Too Much, in Dunedin on 6 and 7 November. Children who are overweight or obese are more likely to become overweight or obese biotest adults so it is important that an accurate measure be used for assessing the potential for obesity in children, says Kasalanaita Puniani. “The prevalence of obesity in children throughout the world has increased significantly over the last 10 years and this has made the need for an accurate measure of obesity even more crucial,” she says. In adults, BMI is widely used to define cut-off thresholds for them being overweight or obese and there has been much published on the relations between BMI and measures of body fat. |
