Hispanic Adults Demonstrate Higher Fat-Free Mass Density Compared to Cadaver Reference Values: A 4-Compartment Model Approach
The small ES for D<sub>FFM</sub> and TBW:FFM indicate that densitometry- and bioimpedance-based methods, which rely upon outlined assumptions, may accurately assess body composition in Hispanic adults. Nonetheless, future research should continue evaluating the accuracy of existing body density and total body water-based methods in Hispanic populations to confirm their validity and determine whether refinement or development of population- or sex-specific equations is necessary.
