Toward a universal body composition assessment using 3D body scan

This anthropometry seminar was held on Thursday 13 May 2021. Panelists: Marcelline Dechenaud, Thecla, LLC. Professor Steven Heymsfield, Pennington Biomedical Research Center. Digital anthropometric (DA) assessments are increasingly being administered with 3D optical devices in clinical settings that manage patients with obesity and related metabolic disorders. However, anatomic measurement sites are not standardized across manufacturers, precluding use of published reference values and pooling of data across research centers. Our group developed “universal” 3D analysis software by applying novel programming strategies capable of producing device-independent DA estimates that agree with conventional anthropometric measurements made at well-defined anatomic sites. Availability of this software, with future refinements, will facilitate clinical applications and creation of large pooled uniform anthropometric databases that can provide new insights into a wide range of research topics.
