Abstract: | Non communicable diseases have reached epidemic proportions all over the world. Body fat percentage (BFP) is a risk factor for many non communicable diseases including diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Bio impedance analysis (BIA) provides an accurate way of measuring BFP but it is associated with a high initial cost. If anthropometric indices are found to be predictive of BFP, they can be used for clinical decision making with less cost. |
