DESCRIPTION:'''Host:''' Biomedical Imaging Institute\n\n'''About the even
 t:''' \n\nYou are warmly invited to the BII seminar\, ‘Whole body shape 
 descriptors of diabetes using DXA and principal components analysis’. Th
 e speaker will be Professor John Shepherd.  \n\n'''Abstract:''' \n\nAbst
 ract: Weight is one of the most widely used measures of nutritional asse
 ssment. The subdivision of the body to fat and lean compartments is also
  available using a number of technologies such as bioimpedance\, deuteri
 um dilution\, and densitometry. However\, subdivision of the total body 
 into two masses is a crude tool to understand to complex nature of energ
 y expenditure\, resistance to disease\, and risk prediction for mortalit
 y and metabolic diseases. In this talk\, I discuss advances in methods t
 o assess subcompartments of body composition using clinical relevant and
  field applicable tools including dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA)
  and optical assessment of the body shape. I will present resent work re
 lating body shape to diabetes status and optical body shape to the body 
 composition of young children. In addition\, the application of shape an
 d appearance modeling will also be introduced as applicable to DXA and o
 ptical imaging.\n\n'''Registration:''' \n\nTo register\, please complete
