doi: 10.1053/j.ajkd.2009.12.031
Figure Lengend Snippet: [nd8]Difference plots between DEXA as reference standard and other methods of body composition assessment in 118 patients. Medium dashed line is the difference, long dashed lines are limits of agreement (mean±2SD) and short dashed lines are 95% confidence intervals for the difference. Panels show difference of DEXA-measured total body fat percentage and (A) NIR (near infrared) interactance, (B) triceps skinfold (TSF), (C) bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) Segal equation, (D) BIA-Kushner, (E) BIA-Lukaski.
Article Snippet: In this study, triceps skinfold was used as an index test to estimate body fat using a series of conventional regression equations based on age and gender (see Item S1 , provided as supplementary material accompanying this article at www.ajkd.org ). ( 28 , 29 ) DEXA The reference test for assessment of body composition was DEXA performed with a Hologic Series Delphi-A Fan ( 30 )Beam X-ray Bone Densitometer with software version 12.4 (Hologic Inc., www.hologic.com ).
