Qiao et al. recently investigated the ability of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans and a smartphone app to provide detailed body composition and shape data. In a healthcare system that continues to rely on crude and stigmatizing measurements like body-mass index (BMI), their findings point to the potential of newer technologies to capture markers (i.e., visceral adiposity and fat distribution patterns) that provide clearer insights into metabolic health.

评估测量代谢风险的替代策略


Qiao 等人最近研究了双能 X 射线吸收测定法 （DXA） 扫描和智能手机应用程序提供详细身体成分和形状数据的能力。在继续依赖体重指数 （BMI） 等粗略和污名化测量的医疗保健系统中，他们的研究结果表明，新技术有可能捕获标志物（即内脏肥胖和脂肪分布模式），从而更清楚地了解代谢健康。
