Digital Photography to Estimate Anthropometric Measurements in Children

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this research study is to determine if measurements of children taken from photos are similar to measurements taken in person, and if measurements from photos relate to measurements of body mass index (BMI) and body impedance, which measures body fat. Height, weight, wrist circumference, waist circumference, and body fat measurements are used to track how children grow.
