Objective Numerous equation to predict percent body fat using demographics and
anthropometrics have been published but external validation of these equations is limited …

Background: A simple prediction equation that accurately predicts an individual's percent
body fat (PBF) with easy to obtain inputs could benefit health and exercise science …

Purpose Equations that estimate percentage body fat (PBF) from anthropometrics are widely
used, although most were developed in small nonrepresentative samples. No study has …

Introduction Commonly used statistical models to predict body fat percentage currently rely
on skinfold measures, anthropometric measures, or some combination of the two but do not …

High whole-body fat percentage is independently associated with increased mortality. We
aimed to identify a simple anthropometric linear equation that is more accurate than the …

Background: Body mass index (BMI) is the dominating weight-for-height index, but its validity
as a body fat (BF) index has not been properly examined. Objectives: Our aims were to …

Results: In the final models, R 2 ranged from 0.664 to 0.845 in males and from 0.748 to
0.809 in females. R 2 was not notably improved by development of equations within, rather …

Objective To validate anthropometric equations in the current literature predicting body fat
percentage (% BF) in the Greek population, to develop and validate two anthropometric …

Background Using BMI as an independent variable is the easiest way to estimate percent
body fat. Thus far, few studies have investigated the development and cross-validation of an …

Background Adiposity is an independent predictor of metabolic disease. However, highly
accurate body fat assessment is not routinely done due to limited access to expensive and …
