Application of ultrasound for quantitative assessment of body fat mass
Background & aims
Obesity is a significant health concern associated with various diseases. Accurate measurement of body fat mass (BFM) and local fat thickness (FT) is crucial for health assessment. Ultrasound offers a non-invasive, portable, and cost-effective alternative for measuring FT, but its application for quantitative BFM estimation has not been fully explored. This study aimed to develop and validate a quantitative estimation algorithm for BFM based on local FT measured by ultrasound.
Methods
A total of 179 volunteers were randomly divided into modeling and verification groups. BFM was measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and FT was measured at 10 sites throughout the body using ultrasound. In the modeling group, the correlation between FT and BFM at different sites was analyzed, and a BFM estimation algorithm based on FT was developed using multiple linear regression. The accuracy of the estimation equation was validated in the verification group.
Results
Men had lower BFM than women (P < 0.05). At most sites, the FT of males was less than that of females (P < 0.001). Significant positive correlations were observed between FT at various sites (site 1 to 10) and BFM across all groups (P < 0.01). The estimation algorithm revealed that FT at 4 sites (intra-abdominal, posterior right perinephric, abdominal subcutaneous, and anterior upper arm) contributed to BFM estimation for men, while two additional sites (pre-peritoneal and posterior lower leg) were valuable for women. The R2 for the algorithms was 0.882 for men and 0.907 for women, with the standard error of estimate of 2.04 kg for both. The intraclass correlation coefficient between ultrasound-derived estimated BFM and the BFM measured by BIA in the verification group was 0.848 (P < 0.001).
Conclusions
BFM can be quantitatively estimated using a fitting algorithm based on ultrasound-derived local FT.

Clinical Nutrition ESPEN is an electronic-only journal and is an official publication of the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN). Nutrition and nutritional care have gained wide clinical and scientific interest during the past decades. The increasing knowledge of metabolic disturbances and nutritional assessment in chronic and acute diseases has stimulated rapid advances in design, development and clinical application of nutritional support. The aims of ESPEN are to encourage the rapid diffusion of knowledge and its application in the field of clinical nutrition and metabolism. Published bimonthly, Clinical Nutrition ESPEN focuses on publishing articles on the relationship between nutrition and disease in the setting of basic science and clinical practice. Clinical Nutrition ESPEN is available to all members of ESPEN and to all subscribers of Clinical Nutrition.
