Abstract: The aim of this study was to validate noninvasive models, retrieved from the literature, estimating body fat in white women. The cohort used for the validation consisted of 277 postmenopausal women, and the reference method was dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA). Five models were retrieved containing anthropometric measurements such as bicep and tricep skinfolds, waist circumference (WC), height, and body weight. Models including only BMI were found to be less biased and more valid than others including sk… Show more

“…On the other hand, due to its characteristics, the anthropometric method has been a valid, accurate, innocuous and inexpensive alternative to measure body composition [31,32]. Recently, Kanellaris and Manios [32] performed the validation of simple anthropometric models to estimate body fat in postmenopausal women, which provides us with a two-compartment model for assessing body composition (fat mass and lean mass).…”

“…Recently, Kanellaris and Manios [32] performed the validation of simple anthropometric models to estimate body fat in postmenopausal women, which provides us with a two-compartment model for assessing body composition (fat mass and lean mass). However, for being a two-compartment model for assessing body composition, the predictive equations of body fat do not allow a specific measurement of the amount of muscle mass and especially the AMM for diagnosing sarcopenia.…”

“…Several methods have been employed for assessing total and regional fat mass in postmenopausal women. 8 Anthropometric variables, such as BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-thigh ratio or skinfold thickness, have been widely used in various research or clinical settings; generally, these methods are characterized by limited accuracy and/or are subject to large intra-and inter-observer variability. 8,9 Various methods, such as underwater weighing and deuterium oxide (D2O) dilution, have been proposed for body composition analysis, but are expensive or else time-consuming, are not patientfriendly and are restricted to research settings.…”

Computed tomography 10 and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are currently the "gold standard" methods for the direct measurements of total and regional fat mass; however, their routine use is limited because of inaccessibility to equipment, relatively high cost and, in the case of computed tomography (CT), exposure to ionizing radiation.…”
