Development and Cross-Validation of Anthropometric Predictive Equations to Estimate Total Body Fat Percentage in Adult Women in Sri Lanka

Table 5

Cross-validation of developed equations; comparison of measured and estimated TBFP in Group B (n = 175).

Model	Mean (SD) (kg)	Mean difference (SD)	Range of mean difference	Standard error mean	Significance ( value)
TBFP1	35.13 (4.31)	−0.38 (3.10)	−0.85 to 0.07	0.23	0.10
TBFP2	35.10 (4.73)	−0.35 (2.94)	−0.79 to 0.08	0.22	0.11
TBFP3	32.90 (5.22)	1.84 (3.03)	1.39 to 2.30	1.22	<0.001
TBFP4	35.09 (4.66)	−0.34 (2.78)	−0.76 to 0.06	0.21	0.09

TBFP = total body fat percentage; SD = standard deviation. Mean comparison was performed with the paired sample t-test.
