In brief Because of its noninvasive approach, anthropometry is one of the oldest and most popular methods of estimating body composition. However, this practical approach is often misused and misinterpreted by both clinicians and researchers. This article reviews the major methods for estimating body composition in various populations, with emphasis on anthropometry. Steps that will help clinicians select an appropriate anthropometric equation and reduce errors include using the same measurement procedures described in the original study and making sure the equation is based on a similar sample of 50 to 150 subjects in terms of age, sex, and activity levels.
简而言之，由于其非侵入性方法，人体测量学是估计身体成分最古老且最常用的方法之一。然而，这种实用方法经常被临床医生和研究人员滥用和误解。本文回顾了在不同人群中估计身体成分的主要方法，重点是人体测量学。有助于临床医生选择合适的人体测量方程并减少误差的步骤包括使用原始研究中描述的相同测量程序，并确保该方程基于年龄、性别和活动水平方面50至150名受试者的类似样本。
