Correlates, predictors, reference ranges and agreement between percent body fat measured using bioelectric impedance analysis and skinfold-thickness measurements in young nigerian adults
Journal Title: Archives of Physiotherapy and Global Researches - Year 2015, Vol 19, Issue 4
Abstract
Establishment of population specific normative databases for body composition is important in determining clinically useful cut-points for definition of excessive body fat or obesity for preventive or treatment programmes. This study provides the correlates, predictors, reference ranges and agreement between Percent Body Fat (PBF) measured using Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) and Skinfold-Thickness Measurements (STM) in young Nigerian adults.
