Ideas in this flowchart

  • Alternative methods for measuring body fatness have practical limitations.
  • Alternative measurement methods
  • Skinfold thickness measurements with calipers
  • Underwater weighing
  • Bioelectrical impedance
  • Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)
  • Practical limitations
  • These methods are not always readily available.
  • They may be expensive or require highly trained personnel.
  • Many methods are difficult to standardize across observers or machines.
  • This complicates comparisons across studies and time periods.

"Other methods to measure body fatness include skinfold thickness measurements with calipers, underwater weighing, bioelectrical impedance, and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). However, these methods are not always readily available, and they are either expensive or need highly trained personnel. Furthermore, many of these methods can be difficult to standardize across observers or machines, complicating comparisons across studies and time periods."
