Abstract
Body composition was measured in 29 healthy adults (12 men and 17 women) by three different methods: Dual photon (153Gd) absorptiometry (DPA), body density measurements (BD) and measurements of total body potassium (TBK). Correlation and regression analysis with the body fat percentage (Fat%) measured by the three different methods gave r values between 0.cntdot.83 and 0.cntdot.90 and SEEs between 4.cntdot.0 and 6.cntdot.0 (Fat%). We conclude that DPA provides a new method of measuring body composition with precision and accuracy errors in the same range as the more established methods.Keywords
