Interventions to prevent obesity in children aged 5 to 11 years old - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38763517/
The body of evidence in this review demonstrates that a range of school-based 'activity' interventions, alone or in combination with dietary interventions, may have a modest beneficial effect on obesity...
School-based activity interventions, alone or combined with diet changes, modestly reduce childhood obesity short- and medium-term; dietary-only interventions show little effect. Evidence on serious adverse events and health inequalities remains limited.

Associations between 47 anthropometric markers derived from a body scanner and relative fat-free mass in a population-based study - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38637778/
Anthropometric measures were more strongly associated with FFM ADP compared to FFM BIA . Anthropometric markers like circumferences of the high or middle hip, belly or waist may be appropriate...
Easily accessible body circumference markers, especially around the hips and waist, strongly correlate with fat-free mass, offering potential for individualized therapy without specialized equipment, particularly using air displacement methods.
