Eur J Clin Nutr. 2005 Sep;59(9):996-1001. Ball SD1. Author information Abstract OBJECTIVE: To evaluate interdevice reliability in body density (Db) and percent body fat (%BF) using air-displacement plethysmography, the BOD POD (BP) body composition system. DESIGN AND SETTING: Duplicate body composition tests were performed in immediate succession on 50 adults (26 M, 24 F; 21-53 y) […]

Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care. 2005 Nov;8(6):624-9. Air-displacement plethysmography: here to stay. Fields DA1, Higgins PB, Radley D. Abstract SUMMARY: It is important to recognize that air-displacement plethysmography can be a practical instrument in the evaluation of body composition in a wide range of populations. Therefore, based on the body of literature that has […]
