A Comparison of Anthropometric Measures with Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis in the Classification of Overweight and Obesity in U.S. Military Personnel (P21-050-19)

摘要

ObjectivesGiven that the prevalence of obesity in the military is a growing national security concern, we sought to determine: 1) the level of agreement between body mass index (BMI), circumference-based equation (CBE), waist circumference (WC), and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measures, and 2) if BMI, CBE, or WC measures alone or in combination adequately reflect adiposity in military personnel compared to BIA measures.
