A New Apparatus for Stereometry: Moiré Contourograph

  • Chapter
Nutrition and Malnutrition

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 49))

Abstract

In addition to traditional caliper-and-tape anthropometry, other techniques that provide data for the quantitative analysis of body composition have been explored as morphological approaches to the assessment of nutritional status.1 These techniques should contribute to widening the scope of somatology and its practical usefulness.
