Received Date: Feb 01, 2024 / Accepted Date: Feb 28, 2024 / Published Date: Feb 29, 2024
Abstract
As obesity becomes increasingly prevalent, weight loss methods and their effects on body structure are of growing interest. This review explores variations in body structure during weight loss, focusing on the methods utilized in research. The methods include measurements of body composition, such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and underwater weighing. Additionally, techniques like waist circumference and skinfold measurements are discussed. Understanding the variations in body structure during weight loss is crucial for improving weight loss interventions and their long-term outcomes. This review concludes by highlighting the importance of employing a combination of methods for comprehensive body composition analysis.
