Background: Although skinfold-thickness equations are widely used to estimate body fat,
their accuracy in a biracial population of female adolescents has not been established …

Objective: To compare the most commonly used equations to predict body fatness from
skinfold thickness, in male and female adolescents, with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry …

In order to evaluate the variable and constant error of skinfold prediction equations for
estimating body density and body fat, 18 skinfold and girth measures were determined in 40 …

The purpose of this study was to compare seven skinfold equations with underwater
weighing (UWW) for estimating body fat in 39 African American [age: 22.8+/-3.6 y (x+/-SD); …

To assess the validity of skinfofd thickness estimates of body fatness in formerly morbid
obese adults, 23 patients (17 women, 6 men) who had completed a protein-sparing modified …

The efficacy of cross-sectional fat areas in estimating total body fat was investigated in a
sample of white American children and adults. Body density and total fat weight (kg) in the …

The purpose of this study was to assess the predictability of body fatness as determined by
three separate approaches:(1) body density from hydrostatic weighing and functional …

Background: Only a few published studies in children used several methods to compare
body fat in large groups of fatter and leaner multiethnic children. We hypothesized that the …

Background: Skinfold-thickness measurements are commonly obtained for the indirect
assessment of body composition. Objective: We developed new skinfold-thickness …

Objective: To develop equations, from some simple anthropometric measurements, for the
prediction of body density from underwater weighing in male spanish children and …
