Use of standardised, size-matched clothing enables accurate assessment of percentage body fat by air-displacement plethysmography

Wearing scrubs instead of reference clothing results in a significant underestimation of 9.3 % percentage body fat by ADP measurement. However, if the scrubs are adapted to the individual size, correct values of percentage body fat can be calculated for normal and overweight people. This simplification of the measurement process may lead to increased compliance.
