Body Fat Measurements in Singaporean Adults Using Four Methods
Few studies have been conducted to measure body composition in Asian populations. In this study, we determined the percent body fat (PBF) by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), air-displacement plethysmography (ADP or BOD POD), bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and skinfold (SKF) in 445 healthy Singaporean adults. We observed that the BOD POD, BIA and SKF estimates of PBF were h...
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 < ...
متن کاملPrediction 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 the predicting body fat equations during a maturation period in adolescent girls (12-16ys)
Validation of predicting fatness methods in the Iranian girls with respect to the maturity process could help to identify anthropometric risk factors. This study evaluate the accuracy of four body composition prediction equations in the teenager students in Hamadan city .Method: The anthropometry profile of 266 adolescent girls (12-16 ys) including ,weight (55.69±10.18 kg),body mass index (2...
