摘要

Fat and lean components of the body including total body fat, fat-free mass and total body water and ectopic fataccumulation are important constituents that link obesity, aging, and chronic disease to subsequent morbidity andmortality. The methodology of body composition is based on a series of models characterized by progressive levels ofanatomical complexity. A commonly used example is five-level model: atomic, molecular, cellular, tissue-system, wholebody. Each body composition analysis method targets a component or a subcomponent of the five-level model of bodycomposition. The choice of body composition analysis method greatly depends on the question being asked, the settingwhere the measurement is performed and the availability of measuring devices. Body composition analysis methods varyin complexity and precision, and range from simple field based methods to more technically challenging, laboratory basedmethods. Although several methods have been developed to assess body composition, anthropometric indices are simple,safe and cheap measures to quantify obesity. Body mass index, calculated from height and weight, is the most frequentlyused, quickest and the easiest measure. As body mass index does not differentiate peripheral from abdominal obesity, theuse of waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio was proposed in various guidelines. Waist-to-height ratio is emerging asa new anthropometric index with a potential for global use in different ethnic groups and in adults and children. Theminimum measurements to be made in the basal evaluation of overweight patients are weight, height and waistcircumference to calculate body mass index and waist-to-height ratio.
