Prediction of percentage body fat from anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance in Singaporean and Beijing Chinese.
Body composition was measured in 205 male and female Beijing Chinese and in 148 male and female Singaporean Chinese, age 34 (mean) (range 18-68) years and body mass index (BMI) 22.3 (15.9-38.5) kg/m2. In Beijing Siri's two-compartment model based on densitometry was used as a reference technique and in Singapore Siri's three-compartment model based on densitometry and deuterium oxide dilution w...
متن کاملComparison of predicted body fat percentage from anthropometric methods and from impedance in university students.
The objective of the present study was to compare different methods for evaluating body fat percentage (BF%) (anthropometric methods and bioelectrical impedance analysis) in university students. Subjects were 653 healthy students whose mean age, body height, body weight and BMI were 21.1 (SD 2.5) years, 166.0 (SD 8.4) cm, 62.8 (SD 11.0) kg and 22.7 (SD 3.1) kg/m(2), respectively. Results showed...
متن کاملPrediction Equations for Body-fat Percentage in Indian Infants and Young Children Using Skinfold Thickness and Mid-arm Circumference
The objective of the study was to develop prediction equations for fat-mass percentage in infants in India based on skinfold thickness, mid-arm circumference, and age. Skinfold thicknesses and mid-arm circumference of 46 apparently-healthy infants (27 girls and 19 boys), aged 6-24 months, from among the urban poor attending a well baby clinic of a hospital in Kolkata were measured. Their body-f...
متن کاملCorrelation between percentage of body fat measured by the Slaughter equation and bio impedance analysis technique in Mexican schoolchildren.
INTRODUCTION Obesity is considered one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century in children and adolescents. The percentile or Z-score of the body mass index is widely used in children and adolescents to define and assess overweight and obesity, but it does not determine the percentage of total body fat. Other anthropometric measurements that determine total body fat are s...
متن کاملDoes body adiposity index evaluate percentage of body fat?
Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to determine whether the novel marker, body adiposity index (BAI), is accurate to measure percentage of body fat (PBF). Materials and methods: Seventy-eight males were undergone anthropometric examination. PBF was calculated by BAI and measured using InBody 3.0. Results: Significant correlation was found between BAI and PBF (r = 0.751; P < ...
