Background: The adiposity measurement by reliable methods such as dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is not feasible in routine medical care and instead of this, the anthropometric methods are used. However, these methods could be inaccurate to estimate the body fat content. Additionally, in pediatric patients, some anthropometric indexes requires percentiles or Z-scores for their interpretation, like the body mass index (BMI) or the waist circumference (WC).

Background: BoneXpert is a software for automated measurement of bone age (BA) and radiogrammetry (bone health index). The precision error of the software for BA measure is smaller than the human rating error and the accuracy relative to the human routine ratings is 0.80 years. Differences in skeletal maturation between ethnicities have been reported, so it is important to have specific references for the own population.Objective: To present the automate...
