Assessments of body composition are used in a wide variety of fields, including human biology, nutrition, sports science, obesity research, epidemiology and medical physics. Body composition can be used to predict obesity problems in adult life from childhood measurements, bone density loss in athletes and the elderly and the future effects of malnutrition. In this volume, new techniques are evaluated alongside those long established. Little background knowledge is assumed, making the book accessible to students and researchers alike.Davies, Peter S. W. is the author of 'Body Composition Techniques in Health and Disease' with ISBN 9780521461795 and ISBN 0521461790.
