A new study by the University of Alberta has been published recently summarizing ongoing scientific research activity in infant body composition using the PEA POD. The objective of this study was to summarize published evidence and ongoing research activity in infant body composition using the PEA POD infant body composition system. All published studies using the PEA POD were identified and grouped...

A new white paper from COSMED shows main scientific evidence on the importance of body composition measurement in infants. There is an increasing interest in the association between nutritional status during early infancy and childhood with the increased risks for adverse health effects as adults. Infant body composition has been in the last years increasingly identified by the research community...

A meta-analysis of scientific studies has been published on the prestigious Pediatrics Journal showing the importance of body composition monitoring in preterm infants. The study is a meta-analysis of studies published to date presenting body composition results in preterm infants at term equivalent age (TEA), which is the age at which they would have been born had they not been premature. This...

A new study published on Pediatric Exercixse Medicine uses the BOD POD as the practical reference standard for body fat measurement in young male athletes. The purpose of this study was to examine the intermethods agreement of DXA and BIA with ADP to assess the %BF in young male athletes, such as swimmers, footballers, and cyclists. Air Displacement Plethysmography was considered the reference...
