Accuracy of Anthropometric Equations for Estimating Body Fat in Professional Male Soccer Players Compared with DXA

Table 5

Body fat percentage differences (equation − DXA) from anthropometric equations (developed in athletic populations) statistically similar to DXA.

Author equation	Mean	95% limits of agreement
Oliver		(−3.9 to 2.3)
Civar		(−4.8 to 1.8)
Zuti		(−4.8 to 6.3)
Forsyth (4SKF)		(−6.2 to 5.7)
Forsyth (2SKF)		(−5.8 to 6.5)

Equations are listed from the narrowest to the widest limits of agreement. 2SKF, two skinfolds; 4SKF, four skinfolds; DXA, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. All values were significant ().
