We are looking for manuscripts measuring 4-compartment body composition in African-American and Hispanic-American youth and adults. What about other races/ethnicities outside of the United States?
We performed a systematic review and only identified about 175 articles across ALL races and ethnicities, and are surprised there aren't more. We are a little worried that we haven't found them all.
Can we get some help?
Interesting line of inquiry. I do not think there is much. Off the top of my head, I don't think most of the 4C validation studies had sufficient power to do race/ethnicity sub-group analyses. Wonder if people ignore it since machines like the BodPod and DXA have different algorithms based on race/ethnicity. The same could probably also be said for age. Might be worth considering a multi-year/multi-site study to see if we can develop better equations!
Bingo, I don't think there is much out there, but it could be my own ignorance. Thanks Matt Schubert!
