TL;DR
In addition to the girls being more stunted and underweight, LBM% decreased in girls with increasing age but steadily increased in boys, suggesting hidden deprivation of female children.
Abstract

Ways are described in which measurement error can be used to assess the probability that differences in anthropometric measures across time within individuals are due to factors other than imprecision, which should allow increased precision of measurement, and improved interpretation of anthropometric data.

98 Citations1995JP Simons, AM Schols +3 more
It is concluded that although a similar relationship is found between ht2/R and TBW in normal-weight and underweight cancer patients, single-frequency BIA overestimatesTBW in underweight patients when prediction formulas are used that have been developed innormal-weight subjects.

Inclusion of inaccurate estimates of body density and weight introduce errors of typically but incorrect assumptions regarding conductive length or fluid resistivities may each incur errors of up to 20%.

It is concluded that GHD adults have lower ECW and TBW and a lower ECw to TBW ratio, as measured by dilution techniques, and multifrequency impedance measurements do not give valid estimates of body water compartments in the follow-up of patients with GHD.

Expectations of finding gender differences in nutritional treatment and anthropometric status of infants in the Gaza Strip may have been unfounded because such differences may have existed previously but have been eliminated through successful public health intervention, rising levels of education and economic development.

Gender inequalities in health in Bangladesh varied significantly according to occupational status, such that the effect of sex was dependent upon occupation and therefore demonstrates both temporal and socio-economic variation in gender inequalities inhealth.
