As can be seen from the table of contents, many body composition techniques are now in competition to give the physician, paediatrician and surgeon information about the health of the patient. These include some that are complex in terms of use and the analysis of results. Their relative value is at a relatively early stage of discussion. Apart from the clinical importance of body composition analysis in surgical, medical and paediatric practice the approaches involved are at the forefront of research in such fields as nutrition, obesity and osteoporosis. This update volume is edited by a well known surgeon and a distinguished clinical nutritionist. The contributing authors are international experts.
