Estimating Waist and Hip Circumference from Routine Clinical DXA
Abstract
Introduction: Waist circumference and waist:hip ratio have body mass index-independent detrimental effects on health and mortality. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans of the lumbar spine and hip can provide site-specific measures of soft-tissue thickness, and we hypothesized that this could be used to opportunistically estimate body circumference in patients undergoing DXA for osteoporosis assessment. Methodology: We assessed the...
