Section II: Object
Acquisition of a BOD POD GS-X (2 pcs.)
Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports, UCPH has many years’ experience with research studies involving children in all ages. Furthermore, the department has for many years conducted research measuring body composition using different methods e.g. DXA, bio impedance, and skin folds.
The BOD POD will be used to measure body composition (especially fat mass, primary outcome) in a new big school intervention study “Generation Healthy Kids” involving more than 2000 children from 24 schools. This method is suitable for children from 5 years of age; it takes 5 min, is free from radiation and will be conducted in underwear or tight clothes. The validity of the BOD POD compares to that of dual energy absorptiometry scan and 4-compartment models (gold standard) in children.
Section IV: Procedure
- The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
- protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights
The BOD POD is suitable for children from 5 years of age and has a validity comparable to that of dual energy absorptiometry scan and 4-compartment models (gold standard) in children (Orsso et al. 2020). In large field trials with children it has the advantage of a faster measurement that is free from radiation. This reduces ethical concerns for the children and does not require special protection of the staff or shielding of the measurement room. Also, the device is smaller than a DXA scanner and can be transported between the schools in a small trailer, as previously demonstrated (Gerstner et al. 2017).
