Figure Lengend Snippet: %Body fat (from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)) vs. body adiposity index (BAI); blue for males and yellow for females from the BetaGene study. Relationship between body adiposity index and %body fat, and measured by DXA is represented by the green line. Note that the slope of the relationship (0.93) is fortuitously not different from unity, such that an estimate of %fat can be obtained by calculating BAI and subtracting 15.
