A systematic study of 389 normal Caucasians stratified for sex and age compared all of the traditional methods for measuring fat: body water, underwater weighing, body potassium, and anthropometrics and the newer methods of dual-photon absorptiometry, bioimpedance analysis, and total body electrical conductivity. Measurements by all methods are highly intercorrelated, but methods differences show the population means for fat percent to range from 26 to 35% of body weight across eight methods. All methods show increasing fat (as % body weight) with age in both sexes but vary in secular slope. The goal of this report is to provide direct translations between each of the eight methods. Intermethod comparison equations are given as simple linear regressions by using each method both as dependent and independent variable for each sex, permitting translation for results by any method to any other.
