Shape Up! Kids Study

January 19, 2023 updated by: University of Hawaii

Identify the unique associations of body shape to body composition and bone density indices in a pediatric population that represents the variance of sex, age, BMI-Z, and ethnicity found in the US population.

Describe the precision and accuracy of optical scans to monitor change in body composition, bone density and metabolic health interventions.

Estimate the level of association of optical to common health indicators including metabolic risk factors (glucose, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, blood pressure, VAT, WC and strength) by gender, race, age, and BMI-Z.

Investigate holistic, high-resolution descriptors of 3D body shape as direct predictors of body composition and metabolic risk using statistical shape models and Latent Class Analysis.

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The investigator will recruit a stratified sample of 720 participants, approximately 360 from each site, using the following equally-weighed stratifications: sex, age (5-10, 11-14, 15-17 years), BMI-Z score (less than -2, -2 to 1, 1 to 2, and greater than 2) and ethnicity (White, Black, Mexican-American, Asian and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander).

Within this sample, the investigator will include up to 36 participants with very low and high BMI by special recruitments from the facilities. The remainder of the participants will be recruited as a sample of convenience using local advertisements around the specified facilities.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Healthy participants will be included in the study if they have a self-reported ability to:

    • walk one-quarter of a mile and climb 10 steps without difficulty,
    • perform activities of daily living (ADLs) without difficulty, and
    • have no life-threatening conditions or diseases that would alter body composition from what is typical for age, sex, ethnicity, and BMI.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • any internal metal artifact (e.g. pacemakers, internal fixation, arthroplasty), amputation, physical impairment or previous fracture that would alter body composition assessment
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding. (All premenopausal females will be asked for a spot urine sample for pregnancy test prior to participation. Those unwilling to comply with this will not be included.
