		Questions such as whether body weight or lean body mass is the best indicator of when premature babies are healthy enough to go home, or whether very chubby babies are more prone to develop cardiovascular problems as adults, can only be answered with research using precise body composition measurements and appropriate standard reference values.
		The CNRC Body Composition Laboratory is the only laboratory of its type in the nation that can provide a complete complement of body composition measurements in all populations ranging from low-birth-weight infants to adults.
		Data from the body composition laboratory research is also being used to develop age, gender and ethnic-specific body composition standard references, such those for bone mineral content and bone mineral density.

	Physiology & Psychology: Performance Benchmarks -- Body Composition
		Body composition refers to the relative percentage of muscle, fat, bone, and other tissue of which the body is composed.
		Because the amount of body fat, not the amount of weight, is the important factor in living a healthy life, it is better to determine the percentage of your body weight that is body fat (percent body fat).
		Use the skinfold sum and your age to determine your percent fat in the body composition chart.

	Body Composition: Healthy Under The Skin
		At this level of body fat percentage, the incidence of injuries and maladies to knees, backs, and ankles, the major support structures, is almost three times that of people with just average body fat percentages.
		Being "average" in body composition is not necessarily healthy, as the overall population is more over-fat than 25 years ago, so a desirable situation is to have slightly less than an "average" body fat percentage.
		Body composition or body fat scores normally trend upward with age, yet that is the result of our adult population being less physically active than in the past, and in actuality, many health experts feel the age-related rise is unhealthy.

	Measuring body composition
		Body composition refers to the amounts of constituents in the body at atomic, molecular, cellular, tissue-system, and whole-body levels.
		Body structure refers to the distribution or arrangement of body parts such as the skeleton and muscle-fat distribution.
		It is not practical to measure the living body composition directly methods used for measuring body composition of a living body rely on indirect measurements techniques.

	BIO\|ANALOGICS Technology - Body Composition Techniques
		There is evidence that research and interest in body composition was explored centuries ago by Archimedes, though most of the research data that is available on human body composition has been completed in the last forty years.
		The assumption that 50% of human body fat is located in subcutaneal tissues and the remaining 50% is found in intra-muscular and essential fat (around organs) is not universally valid.
		A bioimpedance meter is attached to the body, at the extremities, and a small 500-800 micro-amp, 50 kilohertz, signal measures the body's ability to conduct the current.

	Body Composition
		The majority of data involving body composition assessments dealing with the relationship of skinfold thickness to percent body fat in use today are based on studies using this caliper.
		The results may be viewed as whole body estimates of body fat, muscle, and bone mineral as well as regional body estimates.
		To estimate body composition, a computerized spectrophotometer that has a scan and probe are used.

	Body Composition
		The term densitometry refers to general procedures of estimating body composition from body density, under the assumption that the density of any material is the function of the proportion and densities of its components.
		The estimation of body composition is a function of the 40-50% of the pixels which do not contain bone.
		Because there is less experience in the direct measurement of total body water and the derived body composition from intracellular and extracellular fluid, the normative data and interpretative value of BIA has not expanded as rapidly as it has for DXA.

	Bodybuilding.com - Christopher Mohr - Body Composition 411.
		Body composition is the percentage of your body weight composed of fat compared to fat-free (lean) mass.
		Body composition is the only option, then, to separate your lean body mass from your fat mass.
		The typical UWW assumes the body is comprised of fat mass and fat free mass and the calculations are formulated from this assumption.

	Biomarkers/Body Composition Testing
		Body composition is the amount of lean tissue compared to fat.
		The body cell mass is, in effect, the total mass of all the cellular elements in the body, and therefore, represents the metabolically active component of the body.
		Lean body mass is the sum of body cell mass and extracellular mass.

	Fitness Reference Guide: Body Composition
		Body composition is the amount of fat vs. lean muscle tissue in the human body.
		Body weight alone is not a clear indicator of good health because it does not distinguish how many pounds are from fat and how many are from lean body mass.
		If you’ve read Body Composition Measures Results, then you know how helpful it is to track your body fat, rather than relying on weight alone to measure your fat loss.

		However, because body composition may have a significant impact on health and physical performance, scientists have developed a variety of techniques to measure various body components.
		Research has suggested that this method of measuring body composition is similar to that of UWW; the beauty is that it is less cumbersome, portable, easy to operate, requires little time, and eliminates the need to go underwater (which may scare individuals away from UWW).
		Considered by most to be the foremost method of body composition assessment, UWW is a laboratory technique involving some rather spendy equipment (~ $70,000) and 2 to 3 technicians and a patient subject willing to sit through the 25 minute process.
