Abstract
Reliability of body-fat estimation by a four-compartment model was tested in 10 subjects. Body densities were measured by underwater weighing (UWW), total body water (TBW) by deuterium dilution, and total body bone mass (TBBM) by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry in three sessions in 1 wk. Percent body fat was determined by [2.559/density -0.734 (TBW/weight) +0.983 (TBBM/weight) -1.841] x 100. Reliability coefficients were 0.991 and 0.994, and...
