Predicting body composition in college students using the Womersley and Durnin BMI equation |
|
| چکیده انگلیسی مقاله |
Purpose: When assessing fitness levels, body composition is usually measured. The purpose of this study was to determine the overall efficacy of a body mass index (BMI) equation for predicting body composition with respect to college aged participants. Methods: Body composition was measured using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and was estimated using the Womersley and Durnin BMI prediction equation. Results: There was no significant ( P =0.8) percent body fat (%BF) difference between the BMI prediction equation and DXA (BMI Predicted=25 (10) [min=6; max=52] %BF vs. DXA=25 (6) [min=10; max=45] %BF). In addition, a significant correlation was found between the two approaches (r=0.791, P =0.001). However, both the SEE (6.32 %BF) and TE (6.63 %BF) were outside acceptable ranges for prediction equations. Conclusion: The Womersley and Durnin equation for estimating %BF was not found to be a good estimate. Therefore, although the BMI predicted %BF has been previously found to predict skinfold estimated %BF, it does not appear valid in estimating %BF from DXA. Key Words: Body Fat; Percent Fat; Fat Mass |
