Reference charts for body composition parameters by dual ‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry in European children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years—Results from the Austrian LEAD (Lung, hEart, sociAl, boDy) cohort

ConclusionsThe present study provides reference charts for children and adolescents aged 6 to 18  years, for body composition parameters assessed by DXA. The charts enable comparison to a European general‐population cohort and indicate that reference populations should be chosen with caution.
