The objective of the study was to determine accuracy of the Tanita SC-240 body composition analyser to measure paediatric percent body fat (%BF).
Eighty-nine African-American and white 5-18-year-olds participated in this study. %BF was estimated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and by the Tanita SC-240.
Overall %BF was 33.5 ± 10.5% (Tanita SC-240) vs. 34.5 ± 8.7% (DXA). There was no significant difference between the two measures (P = 0.52, average error = -1.0%, average absolute error = 3.9%). The Tanita mean %BF estimates significantly differed from the DXA mean %BF in white boys (P = 0.001, Cohen's d = 0.40) and white girls (P = 0.006, Cohen's d = 0.48), but differences were of small effect. No differences in %BF estimates were found for African-American boys or girls.
In this sample, the Tanita SC-240 demonstrated acceptable accuracy for estimating %BF when compared with DXA, supporting its use in field studies.
本研究的目的是确定Tanita SC - 240人体成分分析仪测量儿童体脂百分比(%BF)的准确性。
89名5至18岁的非裔美国人和白人儿童参与了本研究。通过双能X线吸收法(DXA)和Tanita SC - 240来估计%BF。
总体而言,Tanita SC - 240测量的%BF为33.5±10.5%,而DXA测量的为34.5±8.7%。两种测量方法之间无显著差异(P = 0.52,平均误差 = -1.0%,平均绝对误差 = 3.9%)。在白人男孩(P = 0.001,科恩d值 = 0.40)和白人女孩(P = 0.006,科恩d值 = 0.48)中,Tanita平均%BF估计值与DXA平均%BF存在显著差异,但效应较小。非裔美国男孩或女孩的%BF估计值没有差异。
在本样本中,与DXA相比,Tanita SC - 240在估计%BF方面显示出可接受的准确性,支持其在现场研究中的应用。
