Abstract

The problem of body composition, with special reference to body fat, has been examined in detail (1) with special attention to the logic and the arithmetic; of the formulae used in the calculation of body compartments. It is the purpose of this paper to present, in a succint way, the principal ideas and methods. While the biochemical and biophysical, approaches are more elegant and, indeed, more fundamental, it is 'the anthropometric analysis which is particularly suitable for much of the research in the field and in the clinic and deserves, consequently, particular attention. In laboratory investigations, where neither a shortage of time nor lack of equipment is an obstacle to a comprehensive study, the combination of all three approaches yields the fullest information.
