متن کاملBody composition assessment in lean and normal-weight young women.
Using percentage body fat (BF%) from a three-compartment (3C) model (body density from underwater weighing (UWW) and bone-mineral mass from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as a criterion, we studied the accuracy of UWW, DXA, two skinfold equations, and two bioimpedance (BIA) equations. Thirty-four women (aged 16-20 years) with BF% 13.5-31.1 volunteered. UWW underestimated BF% by -0.5 BF%...
