Sarcopenia in pediatric gastroenterology and hepatology: an updated review
Toshifumi Yodoshi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2026;69(5):366-383.   Published online April 27, 2026
Pediatric sarcopenia is common in chronic gastrointestinal and liver diseases, often hidden by normal body mass index or obesity, and predicts worse outcomes. Because growth and puberty alter body composition, assessment should use age- and sex-specific measures of muscle mass and, when feasible, function. Early multidisciplinary intervention—protein-adequate nutrition, resistance-based activity, and disease control—may improve prognosis.

The Usefulness of the Abdominal Computerized Tomography for the Diagnosis of Childhood Obesity and Its Correlation with Various Parameters of Obesity
Yoon Hee Shim, Su Jin Cho, Jung Hyun Rhyu, Young Mi Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(10):1082-1089.   Published online October 15, 2005
Purpose : Abdominal obesity is encountered as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. However, the anthropometric cut-off value to estimate the cardiovascular risk, has not been suggested. This study was designed to find the relationship between the abdominal fat and various parameters of obesity to find the cardiovascular risk factors related to abdominal obesity and to establish practical methods to...
Relationship between the Body Fat Mass Measured by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis(BIA) and Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry(DEXA), and by the Indices of Insulin Sensitivity
In Seok Lim, Ki Wook Yun
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(8):857-864.   Published online August 15, 2005
Purpose : The objectives of this study was to evaluate the correlations between the indices of insulin sensitivity using fasting glucose and insulin level, and the body fat mass measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA) and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA), and to determine the clinical usefulness of insulin sensitivity indices when obese children were followed up. Methods : In this study, 28...
Correlation between Percentage of Body Fat by BIA and Other Obesity Indices
Su Jin Kim, Su Yung Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2004;47(5):491-495.   Published online May 15, 2004
Purpose : Obesity is becoming a serious health problem in schoolage children and adolescents. There are several parameters to estimate obesity such as body mass index(BMI), skinfold thickness, obesity index and weight for height. Each parameter has some advantages and disadvantages. Bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA) seems to be a simple, reproducible, objective and cost effective method for fat evaluation. But there...
Correlation of Measurements for Body Fat in Obese Children
Jong Hoon Kim, In Seok Lim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2004;47(5):485-490.   Published online May 15, 2004
Purpose : Measurement of body fat in obese children is useful not only in evaluating health hazard but also in establishing standards of treatment and evaluating the effectiveness of treatment. In the field of clinical and laboratory study, there are various methods with different reliability, propriety, convenience, and expenses. However, the practical value of these studies is limited in Korea,...
Correlation between Body Fat Percent Estimated by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis and Other Variable Methods
Hye Won Yom, Su Jung Kim, Il Tae Whang, Young Mi Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2003;46(8):751-757.   Published online August 15, 2003
Purpose : Obesity is a significant health problem with medical and psychological consequences for children and adolescents. The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation between body fat percent using bioelectrical impedance(BI) and other variable methods. Methods : We measured height, weight, body mass index(BMI) and body fat percent by skinfold thickness(ST) and BI in 1,035(496 male; 539 female)...
Body Composition by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis in Obese Children
Jong Eun Lee, Ki Won Par, Su Jin Cho, Il Tae Whang, Young Mi Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(9):992-1001.   Published online September 15, 2001
Purpose : Body composition by bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA) is a very useful method of analysing body composition in many diseases. BIA is a simple, rapid, non-invasive and reproducible technique. There was no comparative analysis between obese and healthy children. A comparative analysis between obese and healthy children is needed to assess the effect of excercise and other interventions in the management of childhood obesity....
Diagnostic Sensitivity in Predicting Hyperlipidemia by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis in Obese Children
Ji Ah Jung, Hyun Mi Kim,, Young Mi Hong, Gyoung Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(11):1583-1589.   Published online November 15, 1998
Purpose : Childhood obesity is currently on the rise. The complications of childhood obesity are depression, adult obesity, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease and fatty liver. Therefore, accurate diagnosis of obesity is important. The purpose of this study was to assess diagnostic sensitivity to predict hypelipidemia by bioelectrical impedance analysis(BI) in obese children. Methods : One hundred fifteen healthy...
