Air displacement plethysmography (ADP) has been widely utilised to track body composition because it is considered to be practical, reliable, and valid. Pea Pod is the infant version of ADP that accommodates infants up to the age of 6 months and has been widely utilised to assess the body composition of full-term infants, and more recently pre-term infants. The primary goal of this comprehensive review is to 1) discuss the accuracy/reproducibility of Pea Pod in both full- and pre-term infants, 2) highlight and discuss practical challenges and potential sources of measurement errors in relation to Pea Pod operating principles, and 3) make suggestions for future research direction to overcome the identified limitations.
空气置换体积描记法（ADP）已被广泛用于追踪身体成分，因为它被认为实用、可靠且有效。豌豆荚式测量仪是ADP的婴儿版，适用于6个月以下的婴儿，已被广泛用于评估足月儿，最近也用于评估早产儿的身体成分。本综述的主要目的是：1）讨论豌豆荚式测量仪在足月儿和早产儿中的准确性/可重复性；2）突出并讨论与豌豆荚式测量仪工作原理相关的实际挑战和潜在测量误差来源；3）对未来研究方向提出建议，以克服已发现的局限性。
