Prader-Labhart-Willi syndrome (PWS)-characterized by severe obesity, short stature, hypogonadism, and muscle hypotonia-appears to be an interesting model for body-composition abnormalities. Twenty-seven PWS patients (15 males and 12 females) aged 6-22 y underwent total-body analysis by dual-energy X-ray photon absorptiometry (DXA).

Abstract
Prader-Labhart-Willi syndrome (PWS)-characterized by severe obesity, short stature, hypogonadism, and muscle hypotonia-appears to be an interesting model for body-composition abnormalities. Twenty-seven PWS patients (15 males and 12 females) aged 6-22 y underwent total-body analysis by dual-energy X-ray photon absorptiometry (DXA).
