Tyler Bosch, Ph.D., a 2014 graduate of the School of Kinesiology, is the lead author on an article published in the June 15 issue of Pediatric Obesity. The article, “Visceral adipose tissue measured by DXA correlates with measurement by CT and is associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in children,” examines a novel way to measure visceral fat mass in children using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The new method of determining visceral adipose tissue was significantly associated with cardiometabolic risk factors. This study was part of Dr. Bosch’s doctoral dissertation. Donald R. Dengel, Ph.D., kinesiology professor and director of the Laboratory of Integrative Human Physiology in the School of Kinesiology, is the senior author on this article and was Dr. Bosch’s adviser.
