Bioelectrical impedance analysis and skinfold thickness for the estimation of body fat: a population-based study in southern Brazil
The two methods showed a good agreement between the mean values of body fat percentage and can be used in population studies. However, their results should be considered with caution in men, people aged 40 years and older, overweight people, and those with a waist-to-height ratio≥50.
