Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the accuracy of percent body fat estimates from seven different bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) models and a seven-site skin fold formula (SKF) compared with air displacement plethysmography (ADP) in females. Eighty-two female volunteers ranging from 19-67 years (31.96 ± 1.39) enrolled in this study. Body composition was assessed by seven site skin folds (SKF), ADP, Tetrapolar BIA (TBIA), and five consumer grade BIA devices: finger to finger (FF), hand to hand (HH) and three different leg to leg (LL1, LL2, LL3) models. In addition, LL3 was analyzed using the athletic (LL3a) and non-athletic modes (LL3b). The Institutional Review Board for Human Subjects at Eastern Washington University approved this study. The participants represented a wide range of percentage body fat (BF) as assessed by ADP (8.40 to 47.10, mean = 26.15 ± 0.93 SEE). No difference in the estimated percent body fat was found between ADP and SKF, TBIA, FF, HH, LL1, LL2, LL3a, and LL3b (r=0.862, 0.553, 0.775, 0.771, 0.765, 0.791, 0.798, 0.796 respectively; P
