Introduction to Body Composition Assessment Using the Deuterium Dilution Technique with Analysis of Urine Samples by Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry

This publication complements the IAEA publication Assessment of Body Composition and Total Energy Expenditure in Humans Using Stable Isotope Techniques by providing practical guidance on the use of stable isotope techniques to assess body composition in settings where biological samples can be analysed by isotope ratio mass spectrometry.
