VALIDATION OF EQUATIONS OF SKINFOLD THICKNESS FOR FAT MASS ESTIMATION IN HIV/AIDS SUBJECTS: A COMPARISON OF DUAL ENERGY X-RAY ABSORPTIOMETRY AND COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY OF ABDOMEN

VALIDATION OF EQUATIONS OF SKINFOLD THICKNESS FOR FAT MASS ESTIMATION IN HIV/AIDS SUBJECTS: A COMPARISON OF DUAL ENERGY X-RAY ABSORPTIOMETRY AND COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY OF ABDOMEN

The objective of the present study was to develope and to validate equations based on skinfold thickness for the estimation of percent body fat (%BF) in HIV/AIDS subjects using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and computed tomography of abdomen (CTA) as the gold standards. The sample included...
