The strengths of this study include the use of digital photographs to capture unbiased information about the body for use in the estimation of volume and shape, DXA as the criterion measure of body composition, and a diverse sample of black and white youth and adult males and ./cache/work_utjtl2t45nfdzdib4flrjby45i.pdf ./txt/work_utjtl2t45nfdzdib4flrjby45i.txt
