“…BAI's ability to predict body fat has been analyzed in the literature, especially in relation to BMI. Some studies have shown that BAI is a better predictor of body fat when compared with BMI (Chang, Simonsick, Ferrucci, & Cooper, ; Dhaliwal, Welborn, Goh, & Howat, ; Godoy‐Matos et al, ; Johnson, Chumlea, Czerwinski, & Demerath, ; Silva et al, ; Sun et al, ;), while others have found a similar or higher capacity of BMI as a predictor of body fat when compared with BAI (Appelhans et al, ; Barreira et al, ; Freedman et al, ; Gibson, Atalayer, Flancbaum, & Geliebter, ; Lopez et al, ; Schulze & Stefan, ; Vinknes et al, ). In the present study, despite the strong correlation with DXA in men ( r = 0.72) and in women ( r = 0.78), BAI was not shown to be a better indicator of body fat than BMI.…”
