Objectives

This report presents body

composition data from whole body dual

energy x-ray absorptiometry scans for

persons 8 years of age and older who

participated in the National Health and

Nutrition Examination Survey

(NHANES) 1999–2004. Valid total body

measurements were obtained on

16,973 individuals. Through the use of

multiple imputation, a useable sample

of 22,010 individuals was achieved for

analysis. Measures for the total body

and regions of the body include total

mass, fat mass, percentage fat, lean

soft tissue (excluding bone mineral

content), and fat-free mass (including

bone mineral content).

Methods

Means, standard errors, and

selected percentiles were calculated for

the total body and for regions of the

body by sex, race and ethnic, and age

population subgroups. Standard errors

of the mean were estimated by Taylor

Series Linearization, which incorporates

sample weights and accounts for the

NHANES complex sample design.

Results

Females had higher percentage

body fat and fat mass than males. After

age 11 years, males had higher lean

tissue and fat-free mass than females.

Percentage body fat was lowest at

ages 16–19 years among males and at

ages 8–15 years among females.

Among males, non-Hispanic white

persons had greater fat mass than

either Mexican American or nonHispanic blacks. Among females,

non-Hispanic black persons had greater

fat mass than either Mexican American

or non-Hispanic whites. MexicanAmerican males and females had less

lean soft tissue than either nonHispanic white or non-Hispanic black

males and females. Among both males

and females, lean soft tissue and

fat-free mass were lowest at ages 8–11

years.

dual energy x–ray absorptiometry

Introduction
 

Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry

(DXA) has long been accepted as the

primary method for measuring bone

mineral content and bone mineral

density because of its high precision,

accuracy, and low radiation

exposure (1–4). More recently, whole

body DXA has become a valuable

method of measuring body composition

due to its speed, ease of use, and strong

correlation with criterion methods of

assessing body composition (5,6). In

addition, DXA has been shown to be

comparable in reliability and accuracy

to alternative methods of assessing

body composition in defined body

regions (7–9).

The assessment of body

composition by DXA has taken on

added importance as the prevalence of

obesity in the United States over the

past 40 years has increased steadily

among both adults and children (10,11).

In 2003–2004, 32.2% of adults 20 years

and older were obese, defined as a body

mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater (12).

BMI is calculated as weight in

kilograms over height in meters squared.

Among children 2–19 years of age,

33.6% in 2003–2004 were at or above

the 85th percentile of BMI for children

of the same age and sex, based on the

Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) growth charts, and

17.1% were at or above the 95th

percentile, based on the CDC growth

charts (13).

Although BMI has been used as the

standard measure of obesity in the

United States and other countries (14),

there are recognized limitations to the

use of BMI in assessing obesity since

the relationship of body fat to BMI

varies with age, sex, ethnicity, and

physical conditioning (15–17). In

previous studies of adults and children

using the same data set as reported

here (18,19), BMI was found to

distinguish categories of percentage fat,

although small differences in percentage

cutoffs used to define high adiposity for

children led to large differences in the

prevalence of high adiposity in

intermediate BMI ranges. Because DXA

assesses the proportions of fat mass and

fat-free mass in the body, it can provide

a more accurate measure of body fat

than BMI is able to do. In 1999, the

National Health and Nutrition

Examination Survey (NHANES)

implemented whole body DXA scans of

survey participants age 8 years and

older to provide nationally representative data on body composition and

data to study the association between

Page 1
Page 2 [ Series 11, No. 250

body composition and other health

conditions and risk factors, such as

cardiovascular disease, diabetes,

hypertension, and activity and dietary

patterns.

This report presents body

composition data from whole body

DXA scans for persons 8 years of age

and older who participated in the

1999–2004 NHANES. Measures for the

total body and regions of the body

include total mass, fat mass, percentage

fat, lean soft tissue (excluding bone

mineral content), and fat-free mass

(including bone mineral content)

(Tables 1–40). Measures of bone mineral

content and bone mineral density are not

included in this report.

Methods

NHANES are conducted by CDC,

National Center for Health Statistics

(NCHS). The NHANES program is

comprised of a series of cross-sectional,

nationally representative surveys of the

health and nutrition status of the U.S.

civilian noninstitutionalized population.

Samples are selected through a complex,

multistage probability design (20,21).

Individuals identified for the survey

initially are interviewed in their homes.

Following the household interview,

survey participants are asked to

participate in the health examination

component, conducted in mobile

examination centers (MECs) that use

standardized techniques and equipment

for the collection of high-quality data.

The data are released on public-use data

files every 2 years. The data used for

this report are from 1999–2000,

2001–2002, and 2003–2004. Public-use

DXA data files and documentation can

be found at the NCHS NHANES

website (22).

Sample Description

In 1999–2004, low-income persons,

adolescents aged 12–19 years, persons

60 years of age and older, African

Americans, and Mexican Americans

were oversampled to improve the

precision of the statistical estimates for

these groups. Participants self-reported

race and ethnicity. Survey participants

aged 8 years and older were eligible for

the DXA scan, with the exception of

pregnant females. Participants also were

excluded from the DXA examination if

they reported radiographic contrast

material (barium) use in the past 7 days

or nuclear medicine studies in the past 3

days, or if they weighed over 300

pounds or were taller than 6’5’’

(physical limitations of the DXA table).

Females 8–17 years of age were

excluded from the DXA component in

1999 due to concerns over how to

handle the reporting of pregnancy test

results for minors. This issue was

resolved, and starting in 2000, females

8 years of age and over received the

DXA scan. Participants who were

excluded from the DXA scan for reasons

other than pregnancy were considered to

be eligible nonrespondents.

All procedures in NHANES

1999–2004 were approved by the NCHS

Ethics Review Board, and written

informed consent was obtained from all

participants. In 1999–2004, 31,038

individuals 6 years of age and older

were selected to participate in the

survey. Of these, 23,387 were

interviewed and examined for a

response rate of 75.3%. Of the 21,230

examined participants age 8 years of age

and older who were eligible for the

DXA examination, 19,040 completed

DXA scans, and valid total body

measurements (all regions were able to

be analyzed accurately) were obtained

from 16,973 or 80.0% of examined

participants.

Dual Energy X-ray

Absorptiometry (DXA)

Component

The DXA scans were acquired with

a Hologic QDR 4500A fan-beam bone

densitometer (Hologic, Inc., Bedford,

Massachusetts) and Hologic software

version 8.26:a3*. All scans were

administered by certified radiology

technologists. Details of the DXA

examination protocol are documented in

the Body Composition Procedures

Manual on the NHANES website (23).

A high level of quality control was

maintained throughout the DXA data

collection and scan analysis.

Technologist performance was

monitored through in-person

observations and scan review, with

feedback provided as needed. Retraining

sessions were conducted annually and as

needed to reinforce correct techniques

and appropriate protocol. Each

participant scan was reviewed and

analyzed by the NHANES quality

control center at the University of

California, San Francisco (UCSF),

Department of Radiology using standard

radiologic techniques and study-specific

protocols developed for the NHANES.

Hologic Discovery software, version

12.1, was used to analyze the scans. The

UCSF identified regions of the body

that could not be analyzed accurately.

Reasons for these invalid regions

included:

1.Jewelry and other objects not

removed.

2.Nonremovable objects (prostheses,

implants, casts, etc.).

3.Excessive x-ray ‘‘noise’’ due to

truncal adiposity, which interfered

with the ability to obtain valid

measurements of the trunk.

4.Arm and leg overlap.

5.Body parts out of the scan field.

6.Positioning problems.

7.Other (participant motion, missing

limbs, unknown artifacts).

In all there were 3,055 invalid regions

among 1,489 participants. All participant

scans were reviewed by a second

technologist and differences adjudicated

by a supervisor.

In multisite studies such as

NHANES, verification that all DXA

systems perform within the expected

limits is critical because data collected

at the multiple sites are pooled for

analysis. During the 1999–2004 DXA

data collection, quality control phantoms

specific to each MEC and phantoms that

circulated among the MECs were

scanned according to a rigorous

schedule to provide cross-calibration and

longitudinal monitoring. Spine phantoms

specific to each MEC were scanned

daily as required by the manufacturer to

ensure accurate calibration of the

densitometer. Mobile examination

center-specific whole body and tissue

step phantoms were scanned one to
three times weekly. Phantoms simulating

tissue or bone are used to quantify the

accuracy and precision of DXA

densitometers in order to detect drift or

changes in measurement accuracy over

time. A set of phantoms that included a

spine phantom, block phantom, and

whole body phantom circulated among

the MECs and was scanned at the start

of operations at each survey site. Air

scans, which are phantomless scans of

the whole body scan field using the

whole body scan mode, were used to

monitor radiographic uniformity across

the entire scan field. The phantom

scanning schedule is described in the

Body Composition Procedures Manual

on the NHANES website (23). The

UCSF used the cumulative statistics

method and the MEC-specific phantom

data to determine breaks in the

calibration of the densitometers over the

course of the survey (24). An evaluation

was performed of the effect on the

participant data of adjustment factors

developed by the UCSF from crosscalibration data collected before the start

of data collection in 1999 and from the

cross-calibration monitoring data. The

magnitude of the adjustment was

determined to be insignificant and

correction of the participant data not

required.

Lean soft tissue and fat mass for the

total body and regions were adjusted

based on the results of an analysis of

QDR 4500A DXA data from seven

research laboratories, which indicated

that the QDR 4500A algorithm

underestimated fat mass and overestimated lean mass (25). Participant

lean mass was decreased by 5% and an

equivalent kilogram weight added to the

fat mass so the total mass did not

change.

The DXA scans provided soft tissue

and bone mineral measurements for both

arms and both legs, the trunk, and head.

Values for these regions include total

mass (kg), fat mass (kg), percentage

body fat, lean soft tissue (excluding

bone mineral content) (kg), and fat-free

mass (including bone mineral content)

(kg). Percentage body fat is the

proportion of total mass that is fat mass.

Percentage fat for a given region is the

proportion of the total mass of that

region that is fat mass. For example,

trunk percentage fat is the proportion of

the total mass of the trunk composed of

fat. Total values were calculated by

summing measurements for all regions.

Subtotal values were calculated by

summing measurements for all regions

except the head. Assessment of brain

soft tissue by DXA can be prone to

error because of the surrounding skull

and it has been suggested that the head

be excluded from total body soft tissue

analysis (26).

Multiple Imputation

The percentage of DXA participants

with 100% valid data was found to

decrease with increasing age (Figure 1).

The decrease in valid data with age was

due primarily to an increase in implants

such as pacemakers, stents, and hip

replacements. In addition, the percentage

of participants with valid data was lower

at higher BMI levels, in part because of

truncal adiposity (Figure 2). Because the

percentage of participants with valid

data decreased with increasing age and

BMI, and because individuals with body

weight greater than 300 pounds were

not scanned, invalid and missing data

could not be treated as a random subset

of the data.

To address the problem of bias due

to nonrandom invalid and missing data,

multiple imputation of the data was

performed (27). SAS-callable imputation

and variance estimation software

developed by the Survey Methodology

Program at the University of Michigan’s

Institute of Survey Research,

IVEware, was used to impute the

NHANES DXA data (28). The IVEware

module IMPUTE performs multiple

imputations of missing values using the

sequential regression imputation

method (29). A detailed description of

the imputation procedures is provided in

the Documentation for Multiple

Imputation of National Health and

Nutrition Examination Survey

1999–2004 Dual Energy X-Ray

Absorptiometry Data on the NHANES

website (30). With the exception of

pregnant women, who were ineligible

for the DXA exam, and participants with

amputations other than fingers or toes,

all invalid or missing data for

participants age 8 years and older were

multiply imputed. Also multiply imputed

were the data missing for the females

8–17 years of age who were excluded

from the DXA component in 1999.

With the multiply imputed data, a

complete data set was available for

analysis, all measured data were used in

analyses, differences between participants

with complete data and those with missing

data were accounted for, and a more valid

assessment of the statistical reliability of

an estimate was obtained.

included in the analysis. A useable

sample of 22,010 individuals was

achieved for analysis through the use of

multiple imputations.

Statistical Analysis

In this report, means, standard

errors, and percentiles for total mass, fat

mass, percentage fat, lean soft tissue,

and fat-free mass are presented by sex

and age for all NHANES race and

ethnic groups combined, and for the

Mexican American, non-Hispanic white,

and non-Hispanic black groups separately

(Tables 1–40). The analytic age groups

used were 8–11 years, 12–15 years, 16–19

years, 20–39 years, 40–59 years, 60–79

years, and 80 years and older.

All data analyses were performed

using the statistical packages SAS

version 9.2 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC)

and SAS-callable SUDAAN version

10.0 (RTI, Research Triangle Park, NC).

Each of the five datasets produced by

the multiple imputation process was

first sorted by strata and primary

sampling units. The SUDAAN

MI_COUNT option, when used with

PROC statements, indicates the number

of datasets to be analyzed and

automatically performs the multipleimputation analysis. For these analyses,

MI_COUNT=5. Estimates of means,

percentiles, and their variances were

produced for each dataset and then

averaged (30). The standard errors of the

means were estimated by Taylor Series

Linearization (31), a method that

incorporates the sample weights and

accounts for the NHANES complex

sample design. Six-year MEC weights

were applied to the data in order to

account for differential probabilities of

selection, nonresponse, and noncoverage. A relative standard error

(RSE) greater than 30% was used to

identify unreliable estimates (20,21).

The RSE is defined as the ratio of the

standard error of the estimate divided by

the estimate multiplied by 100. In the

tables, an estimate with an RSE greater

than 30% is identified with an

asterisk (*); no estimates had an RSE

greater than 40%. Estimates of

percentiles whose standard errors were

not able to be calculated using

SUDAAN, due to small cell sizes, were

omitted from the tables. Estimates of

means for adults 20 years and older

were age adjusted to the U.S. 2000

standard population in order to facilitate

comparison between the sex and race

and ethnicity subgroups (32). T-tests

with Bonferroni adjustments for multiple

comparisons were used to assess the

significance of differences between

point estimates. The Bonferroni

adjustment is a statistical adjustment for

significance across the entire analysis,

performed by dividing the nominal

p value of 0.05 for a single test by the

number of comparisons performed. For

this report, comparisons were made

between males and females by age

group (level of statistical significance

p < 0.006), among age groups by race

and ethnicity for each sex separately

(level of statistical significance

p < 0.0006), and among race and ethnic

groups by age for each sex separately

(level of statistical significance

p < 0.002).

Selected Highlights

Terms such as ‘‘higher,’’ ‘‘lower,’’

and ‘‘greater’’ indicate a statistically

significant difference.
