Body Composition Assessment by DXA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A DXA scan (Discovery Wi System, Hologic Inc, Bedford, MA, USA) was used to assess the body composition. A 3-compartment model was used for estimating whole body fat, LBM, and mineral density using the software provided by the manufacturer (QDR software version 13.4.1; Hologic Inc, Bedford, MA, USA). Patients were clinically euvolemic at the time of DXA scans. Diuretics were prescribed for patients who presented with edema, and measurements were done when they were euvolemic. The TNF-α level was measured by a commercially available ELISA (Quantikine HS human TNF-α Immunoassay kit, R & D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA).

Anthropometric and DXA Measurements Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A certified densitometry technician with 4-years experience executed all anthropometric parameter measurements and the DXA test. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated according to the formula: BMI = body weight (kg)/[height (m)]2 (link). The BMD of the first to the fourth lumbar vertebra (L1–L4) was measured using a DXA scanner of the Hologic Discovery Wi system (software V13.3.0) with an array mode (60 s, 1 mm collimator). T scores were calculated based on the Asia reference data.

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.
