Visceral adipose tissue reference data computed for GE HealthCare DXA from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data set
Authors' conclusion
These results show the ability to generate VAT and SAT reference data for GEHC systems using Hologic DXA data representative of the US youth and adult population.
Study context
- Population
- National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) participants aged 8 to 59 years with DXA scans acquired on Hologic systems, representative of the US population
- Participants
- 11,972 vs 7,298
- Exposure
- Adults vs Pediatrics
- Adultsn = 11,972
- Pediatricsn = 7,298
- Outcome
- Reference tables for VAT and SAT suitable for calculating z scores and percentile values for GEHC DXA systems
