BMI and an Anthropometry-Based Estimate of Fat Mass Percentage Are Both Valid Discriminators of Cardiometabolic Risk: A Comparison with DXA and Bioimpedance
Figure 5
Comparison of DXA and anthropometry-based estimate of fat mass percent (FM% equation) as predictors of cardiometabolic risk factors. (a) Comparison of the integrated discrimination (= mean individual prediction of cases−mean individual prediction of referents) between categories of obesity based on DXA measurements and categories-based on anthropometry-based estimate of fat mass percentage (FM% equation) basis: whole study population, both men and women. (b) Difference in area under curve between fat mass % as a continuous variable measured by DXA and estimated by FM%-equation.
