Association between anthropometric indices and body fat for identifying excess body fat in elementary school children: a population-based cross-sectional study
These findings suggest that BMI and degree of obesity are strongly associated with body fat percentage across the 85th, 90th, and 95th percentiles and that obesity classifications based on BMI as well as degree of obesity align closely with those based on body fat percentage.
