The body composition, evaluated to characterize the sample, was measured by the indirect method of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry–DXA (Prodigy Advance model–GE Lunar software, Madison - Wisconsin, USA). The evaluation allowed the identification of the following body components: Body mass index (BMI), percentage of total fat (% TF), bone mineral density (BMD), and fat-free mass (FFM) [23 (link)].
It is noteworthy that the DXA was configured with subroutines of appropriate algorithms for the pediatric population. Subsequently, the volunteers were placed in the supine position, on the surface of the device (dimension approximately 190 × 60 cm), which, by sliding the imaging device, at a distance of 80 cm and in a rectilinear manner, performed the scanning from the head to the feet, then, the detector captured the information associated with the attenuation of the photon beams and sent it for analysis on a microcomputer using specific software.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
