- BMI, skinfolds, BIA, and densitometry are useful techniques for measuring total adiposity.
- The degree to which these measures of total adiposity improve prediction of health risk beyond that of waist circumference alone is unclear.
- These estimates of total adiposity do not provide an adequate measure of regional body fat distribution.
