The most common assessments are anthropometric and include weight, stature, abdominal circumference, and skinfold measurements. More complex methods include bioelectrical impedance, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, body density, and total body water estimates.
BIA: bioelectrical impedance analysis
DXA: dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry
BMI: body mass index
TBW: total body water
