Despite criticism of body mass index (BMI) in the classification of weight status, it is still a commonly used metric. BMI may still serve a purpose in the identification of low muscle status. PURPOSE: This study associated skeletal muscle index (SMI), BMI, and body fat percentage (PBF) in a population of mostly Hispanic individuals. METHODS: 47 adults, aged 18+, were assessed for total body composition using a four-compartment model (4C) with bone mineral content from a Lunar iDXA (GE Healthcare, Madison WI), total body water via the InBody 770 (InBody, Seoul, South Korea), and ADP from a BodPod GS-X …

Assessment of body composition and bone mineral density via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is commonly used in sports medicine, orthopedic, wellness, and research settings, whereby individualized reports are generated that can be uploaded to individual patient charts or entered into datasets for the purpose of analyzing trends or differences between population groups or within groups over time as a result of monitoring or interventions (nutritional, pharmacologic, therapeutic, activity). However, for large sample sizes, manual data entry from individual reports can be cumbersome and subject to human error. Exporting raw data directly from the DXA machine also presents challenges. PURPOSE: To …
