Predicting Body Composition in College Students Using the Womersley and Durnin Body Mass Index Equation

Conclusion: The Womersley and Durnin equation for estimating %BF was not found to be a good estimate. Therefore, although the BMI predicted %BF has been previously found to predict skinfold estimated %BF, it does not appear valid in estimating %BF from DXA.
