简介
Background
Over the past decade, considerable attention has been paid to accurately measuring body composition in diverse populations. Recently, the use of air-displacement plethysmography (AP) was proposed as an accurate, comfortable, and accessible method of body-composition analysis.
Objective
The purpose of this study was to compare measurements of percentage body fat (%BF) by AP and 2 other established techniques, hydrostatic weighing (HW) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), in adults.
Design
The sample consisted of healthy men (n = 23) and women (n = 24). %BF was measured by AP, HW, and BIA.
Results
In the total group, %BFAP (25.0 ± 8.9%) was not significantly different from %BFHW (25.1 ± 7.7%) or %BFBIA (23.9 ± 7.7%), and %BFAP was significantly correlated with %BFHW (r = 0.944, P < 0.001) and with %BFBIA (r = 0.859, P < 0.01). Compared with HW, AP underestimated …
