Description:Body composition and bone health will be evaluated in the current National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) by anthropometry and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in addition to the femur, anterior-posterior (AP) lumbar spine, and instant vertebral assessment (IVA) AP, and lateral spine scans. These methods will be used to (1) monitor secular trends in overweight prevalence; (2) describe the prevalence of obesity; and (3) examine the relationship between overweight and obesity and other examination measures, including blood pressure, glucose intolerance, and a battery of indicators for cardiovascular disease.
