Comparison of anthropometry to DXA: a new prediction equation for men

Abstract: Objective: This study compared three professionally recommended anthropometric body composition prediction equations for men to dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and then developed an updated equation, DXA Criterion (DC) from DXA. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Exercise Physiology Lab. University of Missouri-Columbia, USA. Subjects: A total of 160 men aged 18-62 y old. Interventions: Percent body fat (%BF) by anthropometry was compared to DXA on the same day. Results: Although %BF was significantly co… Show more

“…Fat mass and fat-free mass were estimated using the equations following Stewart and Hannan (2000) for male athletes: Fat mass (g) = 331.5 x abdominal skin-fold thickness + 356.2 x thigh skin-fold thickness + 111.9 x body mass -9108; fat-free mass (g) = 888 x body mass -252 x abdominal skin-fold thickness -382 x suprailiacal skinfold thickness -335 x thigh skin-fold thickness + 9120. Percent body fat was estimated using the equation of Ball, Altena, and Swan (2004) for males: Percent body fat = 0.465 + 0.180 x (7SF) -0.0002406 x (7SF) 2 + 0.0661 x age, where 7SF is the sum of skin-fold thickness of pectoralis, axillar, triceps, subscapular, abdomen, suprailiac, and thigh mean in mm and age is in years. Prior to the race, the weight of the race bike was determined to the nearest 0.1 kg without additional equipment.…”

“…Body mass index (kg/m 2 ) was calculated using body mass and body height. The percentage of body fat was calculated using the following anthropometric formula according to Ball et al with percent body fat ϭ 0.465 ϩ 0.180 ϫ ( ⌺ 7SF) Ϫ 0.0002406 ϫ ( ⌺ 7SF) 2 ϩ 0.0661 ϫ (age), where ⌺ 7SF ϭ sum of skinfold thickness of pectoralis, axilla, triceps, sub scapular, abdomen, suprailiac and thigh ( 22 ). The skin-fold data were obtained using a skin-fold caliper (GPM-Hautfaltenmessgerät, Siber & Hegner, Zurich, Switzerland) and recorded to the nearest 0.2 mm.…”
