There are several clinical tools that can be used as indices of total and regional adiposity. These include body mass index (BMI), skinfolds, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), hydrostatic weighing, and air-displacement plethysmography. These measures range from simple anthropometric tools to more complicated measures that are not normally used in clinical practice.
