ABSTRACT

The study of body composition is great interest when you want to know the nutritional status of the infant and the influence of body fat and fat mass on its development. Infants with impaired growth and nutritional status have an increase in morbidity and mortality in the short term adverse effects in adulthood such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease and type-2 diabetes mellitus. Until recently, the only way to know the body composition analysis was by autopsy, until methods for analysis emerged in vivo. Noninvasive methods for determining body composition are clinical anthropometry, skinfold determination and new techniques using various chemical and physical resources, such as total body electrical conductivity (TOBEC), bioelectrical impedance (BIA) the air-displacement plethysmography (Pea Pod), X-ray absorptiometry or dual energy radio-dual energy absorptiometry (DEXA), isotope dilution with deuterium oxide and the measurement of total body potassium. A brief description and analysis of advantages, disadvantages and applications of these tools with a particular focus on the neonatal period.
