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

Table 7

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

Author equation	Mean	95% limits of agreement
Ball		(−3.4 to 3.1)
Wilmore		(−3.9 to 3.0)
Durnin-R	1.4	(−2.3 to 5.1)
Van der Ploeg	1.3	(−2.4 to 5.1)
Durnin-W	1.1	(−3.0 to 5.2)
Lean	0.2	(−4.5 to 5.0)
Garcia	0.3	(−4.7 to 5.2)

Equations are listed from the narrowest to the widest limits of agreement. DXA, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Significant correlation ().
